Talk:Gordon Bennett (expression)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The use of the phrase "Gordon Bennett" comes from an incident when Mr.Bennett flew his plane towards a barn. Onlookers gasped in disbelief as he flew through the barn. Some distortions of the story say that he performed a loop-to-loop through the barn as well. After he performed the stunt and came through unscratched onlookers cried "Gordon Bennett!" hence the exlamation was born. --Bobbyfletch85 02:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
