Vote For Most Significant February 9th Event In Aviation History

Boeing 747 first flight on February 9, 1969

 Sure, there are probably a lot more aviation events that took place on a February 9th date in history, but these three are the ones I'm specifically familar with. Just for fun (seriously, just for fun), I'm giving you the chance to vote on which of these three remarkably significant events you feel stands out as most important! So go ahead and vote... I've got both feet firmly planted and I'm ready for the avgeeks of the world to speak : )

I couldn't help but notice that you have been around longer than the the 747, AND the 727...
That is quite an achievement, Sir. :-D

Happy Birthday!

Tican- I was born in California and I can prove it! Birth certificate copies available on request... that's more than some others are offering : )

David Williams- It's ok... really it is, I'll be fine. I'm sure I'll get over it - eventually.

JohnCFord- There do seem to be a few advantages to being OLD! : )

Happy birthday Martt. Sorry 747 because it's my favorite way to fly.

Eyeno- Hey, no problem... if I run this poll again next year, and I get closer to 'Avgeek World Domination' (the AirPigz long-term goal), then maybe I'll snag your vote : )

That's no contest at all!
Airplanes come and go, but there's only one Martt Clupper
You win this one

+1, Sindre.
