Mary Myers
edit- ... that Mary Myers was the first American woman to fly and pilot a dirigible balloon, which she did on Independence Day in 1880?

- Comment - perhaps a Fourth of July DYK? This was the day in 1880 Myers became the first woman of the United States to fly and pilot her own aircraft.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:26, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: the Fourth of July is well beyond the six-week window for special-occasion DYKs. Suggest Women's History Month (March 1–31) if you want a special occasion berth. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Didn't know about the six-week window. I would then say to run it on the next available queue, whenever it would fall naturally to be placed in order. Thanks. You can strike my comment on this, if necessaery.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:24, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
New enough. Long enough. Well written and sourced. Completed QPQ. No copyvio. Intersting and verified hook. I would say good to go, except for the possibility of waiting for a special date. As far as quality and DYK rules, its good to go. DaltonCastle (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
