Will kick off this month with this shot:

French Pride: On 26 August 1909, the Antoinette IV, which was an early French monoplane, was used to set a world distance record of 154.6 km (96.1 miles), covering this distance in 2 hours 17 minutes. The screenshot is showing her giving a celebratory flight over Paris:

Good luck all...

On 25th July, 1909, Louis Bleriot took off at 16:41 from Calais and landed at 17:17 at Dover in a preliminary model of the Bleriot XI.

Little did he know as he hung underneath the plane trying to fix something, that I was waiting for him with my PrtScr button!

This model is from Jean Michel Castagne and is available as freeware online.

Sorry to be pedantic - EXCEPTED or ACCEPTED? There is a difference of about 180 degrees...

Forgive the 'used' shot, but I checked the rules and as I so happen to love this edit and as it is stringbags (one is sim, one is real - guess)...
