beaubo,

I flew Wright a few times out Burke in the late 70's. I always wondered if it was Wilbur or Orville was in the cockpit.

My company (at that time) was a retail operation and flew store level management to Wayne Co in Detroit for shows and meetings. I had a few interesting trips with them.

There was the time the door fell off twice (not on my plane) and yet my loyal, fellow employees get back on for a third try.

I was on one flight where all the store managers (and DM's and regional manager) were on a flight to Detroit. After sitting down, I turned to my seat mate and mentioned that there were going to be a lot promotions if the plane went down. Turning back, the regional manager was walking down the aisle and heard what I had said. Needless to say, thre was a significant change in travel strategies shortly thereafter.
