Re: 100 Years of Flight in Kitty Hawk, NC

DrFumblefinger ·
I empathize with your rainy, muddy experience. That is no fun. As I recall, Kitty Hawk is also very windy, one of the reasons the Wright brothers chose it. They knew if they could fly their plane into the wind for some distance, no one could challenge the fact that they had flown a heavier than air machine. I regard this as one of the greatest stories of the 20th century. Two creative guys from a bicycle shop in the midwest designed and developed a successful flying machine. It didn't take a...

Great Piece! I've been to the Outer Banks several times and the wind always seems to make it cold. It is a neat area and I learned to always bundle up when headed there.

Thanks for the comment guys. It has been a while and I did forget to mention the fact that the Wright Brothers were workers in a bicycle shop which makes their story even more amazing! As always DrFumblefinger, thanks for the input

Re: Gumbo's Pic of the Day, April 23, 2015: The 1903 Wright Flyer, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.

DrFumblefinger ·
Thanks for reminding me of this great museum, Ottoman! I think this was my favorite museum in D.C. I was astounded to see the rickety old Wright flyer on display and even more amazed that this was THE ORIGINAL, the very plane that the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk -- the one that made history, flying over distance into a head wind. The Wright brothers were compulsive at documenting their findings, so it's not a surprise they would have kept the original plane. Other highlights of the...
