A TBT combination: Tomorrow balloonists celebrate the first manned balloon flight lifting off Nov. 21, 1783 in Paris. One of the passengers was Pilatre de Rozier. Many years ago I had the honor of flying a descendent of Pilatres - Sister Clair Antoine de Rozier. At the age of 80 something, she decided she had better carry on her family heritage and go for a balloon ride before she died. She also wanted to take up golf! She and a fellow Sister were wonderful passengers and enjoyed their post flight champagne brunch. The complete story of the early morning flight is in the Memorable Passengers chapter of The Mystic High Adventures of Fannie Flame & Crew.
