Eighteen-Year-Old Farnum Fish Starting With Passenger -- April 3, 2008

Aviator Farnum T Fish in his Wright biplane. "Fish carried a passenger during the entire time he was in the air in the afternoon, saying: 'When I go up I like to have somebody to talk to.' Fish carries passengers as a matter of course and not as a special stunt. He is as matter of fact about it as if driving an automobile."

http://www.earlyaviators.com/ reports that he went on to fly in Mexico during the Revolution and lived until 1978.
