Attention, U.S. Figure Skating Idiots
You have the 1903 Wright Brothers Flyer flying backwards on your logo:

HAHAHAHAH! Fucken dumshittes!
Next time you watch figure skating, check out how much time they spend going backwards. It all same same those fellas.
Of course, the Wright Flyer probably wouldn't have flown much worse backwards than it did forwards (it was not exactly the world's most stable aircraft), but it woulda been hard for the pilot to drive given that his seat was facing forward :).
Perhaps it's the model with the PFPHUD, or Predictive Flight Path Heads-Up Display. Those Wright brothers were clever dicks.
