Aha! Beryl Markham! How COULD I not have known? Look for my rebus about Herman Henckelpfeffer the famous cuzoo artist, another prominent character!

 

Some say the westward transit was much more difficult

 

Try THIS one for size! Getting back at @Syzygy for Beryl Markham!

 

Easy...AND you tried to trick us by putting it backwards!

Cottage Cheese from McDonalds, served on an old (badass) plane, sent Alexander rushing to the crapper!



Edit: had to give that plane it's props!

 

John Alexander Douglas McCurdy



I thought it might have been John Alexander Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, but the DC-3, and curd pics were throwing me.

Some interesting characters being posted here...

 

@Charlemagne1333 is on some next level game today. That was impressive!

I'm still trudging through the atmosphere + telecaster!

More coffee, me thinks.

 

That was deliberately calculated to give you all pause for thought! I have underestimated some of you! John Alexander Douglas McCurdy indeed. First man in the British Commonwealth to fly, in 1910. He took off in the “Silver Dart” from the ice surface of Bras D’Or lake at Baddeck, Nova Scotia.

 

Capurnicus?

 

Alexander Graham Bell

Partially responsible for the industry in which I've made a career!

 

For the win!

 

And an associate of John Alexander Douglas McCurdy, both of whom were based in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Well done @Syzygy .

 

Not a puzzle...just vacation pictures from Nova Scotia! Thanks @Canuck for the reminder to take a moment and enjoy some lovely memories!

 

If those images were from Baddeck, Nova Scotia, we’ve been there, as well. Alexander Graham Bell’s home Bienn Breagh is there.

 

Astronaut Alan Shepard?

 

Yes, we passed through Baddeck and hiked a few trails around there. Most of our exploration of the area was in Cape Breton, and once it's safe to travel again, we'll most certainly go back! In a single hike, you could pass through 4 or 5 microclimates...beautiful land!

 

And another win!
This time, Horse Head Nebula award (because Beryl Markham was also an accomplished horse trainer!)

 

Famous fellow, now deceased.
