1911 - Vin Fiz

The 1911 Wright Brothers plane, the Vin Fiz was the first airplane to cross the United States. The flight took 84 days with the plane landing 70 times. It crash-landed so many times that little of its original building materials were still on the plane when it arrived in California. The Vin Fiz was named after a grape soda made by the Armour Packing Company.
