Re-enactment to mark 100 years of commercial airline flights

One hundred years of commercial airline flight will be marked tomorrow with a re-enactment of the very first fare-paying journey.

On Jan 1, 1914, the St Petersburg-Tampa Airboat line was able to make a 23-minute flight across Tampa Bay in Florida, in the US.

Tomorrow, 100 years on, a replica of the first airboat will take off from St Petersburg to fly to Tampa.
