That depends on whether you are talking about lighter-than-air aircraft (balloons, blips, etc,) or heavier-than-air aircraft (airplanes, gliders, and helicopters).\n\nThe hot air balloon was invented by the Montgolfier brothers in France in 1783.\n\nIn 1853, Englishman George Cayley made the first manned glider flight. \n\nThe airplane was first successfully flown by the Wright Brothers in 1903.

Not sure what you're asking, but I visited it in 1982. All sorts of neat stuff including a B-47. Not sure if it's still there, though.

The first landing of a helicopter on the summit of mount Everest was done on may 2005, see link below. Before Tensing and Hillary, the technology was not available to do such thing; but more important, the goal is not just getting to the summit, but how you get there. Getting by means of a helicopter or airplane is a different goal than doing it by human effort. \n\nFirst helicopter landing on mount Everest:\nhttp://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0509/whats_new/helicopter_everest.html

Columbia (STS-1)\n\nIt was the second shuttle built, (first was the enterprise which was never launched), and by far the heaviest because it had the most instrumentation for measuring all sorts of things as they developed the shuttle program.  It was piloted by Bob Crippin and i think the commanders name was Young, cant remember his first name\n\nIts also the shuttle that burned up upon re-entry after the foam shedding impact on launch last year.
