    Okay, trivia time.

    Also, don't forget that aviation (balloons, airships, gliders) existed before the Wright brothers
    Theirs was the first manned powered controlled sustained heavier-than-air flight
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Well I've got an HMT Pilot.
    But I'm guessing this isn't the right answer

    Congrats you are correct:

    OK let's try another and then it Alan's turn to ask a few. This French farmers name was chosen for a brand of Pilot and aviation themed watches. What is the brand name and the reason his name is is on the watches (according to the story)?
