Wright F2W
The Wright F2W was an American racing aircraft built by Wright Aeronautical Corporation for the US Navy.
Development and design
The F2W was ordered by the US Navy to enter in the 1923 Pulitzer Trophy. Wright built the aircraft primarily of wood, covered in fabric, and was powered by the Wright T-3 Tornado engine. The first F2W flew for the first time on 2 August 1923.
Operational history
During the Pulitzer Race, the first F2W ran out of fuel and crashed. The second F2W, which carried twice as much fuel, finished third at 230.06 mph (370.25 km/h). It was later converted into a floatplane to take part in the 1924 Schneider Trophy race. During testing it was very unstable, and crashed into the sea.

Right Of Way
by: Ari HestSecret keeper, legend has it you are good
If it's true, then I won't have to knock on wood
It's your calling, I am handing you the reigns so take control
Take the ransom, use however you see fit
Call your sidekick, wipe the sweat off and commit
It's your option, I am handing you the reigns so take me home
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right of way
In hot water, I will tread until we're through
Second guessing, can you turn the doubter true?
A gut reaction, I am handing you the reigns 'cause I don't know
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right
It's your calling, I am handing you the reigns so take me home
And if rain comes today
It better not keep us away
And if black turns to white
You tell them that we've got the right
And if rain comes today
I know it won't keep us away
'Cause we're leaving tonight
