History of Aviation
        Saint Paul businessman, William Markoe made the first successful balloon ascent (Balloon "Minnesota") in Minnesota on September 22, 1857 carrying one passenger during an hour and a half flight. His ascent ended on a farm outside of Cannon Falls.
        The Minnesota State Fair and the Minneapolis Automobile Show Association jointly sponsored the first air show in Minnesota. It was held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds from June 22nd through the 25th, 1910. At the show, aviator Glenn Curtiss made his first Minnesota flight reaching an altitude of 50 feet but on his second flight he crashed wrecking his aircraft but not himself. On subsequent days Curtiss made several short flights, an incredible ten minute flight followed by a seven minute flight setting a record of twenty-five minutes in the air in one day covering over 25 miles.
        Aviator Robinson's successful flight across the Mississippi on October 8, 1911 brought him much publicity. Accordingly, the Aero Club of Saint Louis together with some backers from Minneapolis sponsored Robinson on an intended hydro-plane flight down the Mississippi River from Minneapolis MN to New Orleans LA. Robinson departed Minneapolis on October 17, 1911 carrying mail for delivery to cities along his route. He picked up additional mail en route but lacking sufficient financial resources, terminated his flight attempt at Rock Island IL.
