ITEM BACKGROUND: On May 17, 1913, Cuban Aviation Pioneer Domingo Rosillo piloted the
first flight from Key West, Florida to Havana, Cuba; writing his name in the history of aviation when
he made the first international flight from the Florida Straits to Havana, Cuba. All while establishing a
world record of distance when flying in his Bleriot XI Gnome -powered Moisant Monoplane the 90
miles in two hours and twenty five minutes. This 90 mile crossing came just ten years after Wright
Brothers' historic flight and four years after Bleriot's famous English -Channel crossing of twenty-one
miles. We have been approached by the Rosillo family to place the bronze bust of Domingo in the
Departures Terminal Building. They will pay for half of the cost of the bust. Domingo Rosillo was the
