Nearly everyone who travels will experience turbulence at some point in their life. For some, it's no big deal, but for nervous flyers it can be incredibly uncomfortable. This week we'll be talking about what causes turbulence, and addressing whether or not it's a dangerous (spoiler alert: it isn't).

On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers became the first people to achieve manned, controlled, heavier than air flight. Take away all of the qualifiers, though, and they were far from the first in flight. This week I talk about 5 aviators who beat the Wright Brothers to the sky.
