How does one pronounce "Auriga"? How was the name developed and does it have an aviation meaning or history? Thanks! Ben | ||

Jim, Yeah, I had some time before my next appointment and couldn't figure how to say it to one of my EAA friends. aw-rahy-guh It helps to ask questions here because of the vast pool of knowledge, as you demonstrated. And, I was pronouncing it wrong. (Interesting history). Thanks! Ben |
