At the time of the Wright brothers, which was incidentally before Frisbees were invented, there were some naysayers that thought heavier than air flight was simply impossible. A Frisbee, which can be chucked much further than a balloon, would for them serve as actual proof of "wooden supremacy."

Interesting. Any idea how they responded to the obvious retorts about heavier than air birds?
If they weigh the same as a duck then that should explain things, the birds are witches
It's a simple question of weight ratios!
