Hello! My name is Nexyn, and I am a n3wb on Wikipedia, although I am looking forward to having a long stay here! I enjoy watching crime drama television programmes, such as Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos. I also like crime films, like The Godfather. I listen to Rock n' Roll and classical.
I will mostly be editing articles that relate to the mafia.

Glider flight by Laurence J. Lesh at Morris Park
The Morris Park Aerodrome was a short-lived airfield in what is now the Morris Park section of the Bronx, New York City. In operation from 1908 to 1909, it was the first flying field in the nation, occupying the grounds of the defunct Morris Park Racecourse. The Aeronautical Society of New York leased the land in 1908, using it for building and testing aircraft, and for putting on public exhibitions including major events in November 1908 and June 1909. The first event, captured in an oil painting by Rudolph Dirks titled The Fledglings, included several glider flights by sixteen-year-old Laurence Lesh(pictured), culminating in a crash in which he was severely injured.

When the aerodrome closed for residential development, the Society moved its operations to Roosevelt Field on Long Island. (Full article...)
