[VIDEO] On this day in 1903 the Wright Brothers flew the world's first airplane (heavier than air aircraft) at this site in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. See YouTuuba has brought you to yet another site that you had no idea existed, the Wright Bros National Memorial.
How many of us heard of the exploited of Orville and Wilbur Wright and the work that led them to invent the world's first airplane. They were known for their work on bicycles - well if I recall off hand that's what their work had been and it influenced their idea as far as how to fly a plane. Though they were able to hone their skills by working on printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machines. They created their aircraft after a number of experiments at Kitty Hawk as you will hear as YouTuuba visits the exhibits there.
Also note that a replica of the Wright Bros. Wright Flyer aircraft is on display there although one of the original propellers from that aircraft is also there on display. The original Flyer is actually at the Smithsonian which is another place on the agenda.
I wonder how many aspiring pilots are reading this blog right now!
