TR was a true "Man's, man" never afraid of anything! He did things he wanted not just for political gain!

Thank you Tara. A feat that is no big deal today was a huge deal in 1910. President Roosevelt probably advanced aeronautical interest by taking an impromptu flight.

Yet another story of the life of an adventurous president. He was not one to stay in the safe lane.

Teddy just jumped in the plane and went flying!

Short flight that made history!

Theodore Roosevelt is one of our better known presidents. He lead an adventurous life. Being president would have been a challenge he would eagerly accept. He lived a full and exciting life. Though flying was quite risky in the beginning Roosevelt saw risks as just part of life. Thanks for sharing this episode in the life of this amazing man, Tara.
