AI notes: On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, the New York Times editorial “Twenty‑Five Years of Flying” reflected on how that modest December 1903 flight — a 12‑second, 120‑foot hop that few then grasped as epoch‑making — had, in a quarter‑century, transformed human mobility and industry; it celebrated the unprecedented strides in aviation from fragile wood‑and‑cloth machines to reliable aircraft that now crossed oceans, carried mail and passengers, and knit the world closer together, and it honored the ingenuity and courage of pioneers like Wilbur and Orville Wright while underscoring the promise of air travel, commercial aviation, and international cooperation in the skies ahead.
