    An Englishman abroad...

    I seem to recall reading a few years ago that only a US citizen could own and operate an N reg aircraft in the US. Is this still (or was it ever) the case?

    Clement Ader may have been the first. The French certainly think so. He was supposed to have taken off, flown for about 120 feet and landed in L'Eole, all under its own steam - literally, it was...
