History
On 31 October 1908 Louis Blériot succeeded in making a cross-country flight, making a round trip from Toury to Artenay and back, a total distance of 28 km (17 mi). This was not the first cross-country flight by a narrow margin, since Henri Farman had flown from Bouy to Rheims, the preceding day.

gollark: NEVER!
gollark: You could argue that the reason my phones have problems is that I just don't treat them very well, but really, it's a utility device for my benefit, and I'm not going to go around trying to treat it with reverence, avoid taking it to places it might be damaged, and never using it, to try and protect it.
gollark: The circuitry, I think some of the frame, and any high-temperature parts, can't be printed.
gollark: You can't 3D print an *entire* 3D printer yet.
