KITTY HAWK N.C. 12/17/1903
Our first day on the Outer Banks found Nancy and I at the Wright brothers museum in Kitty Hawk N.C. This tour included films,exhibits,and lots of exercise as it is a 1/4 mile uphill walk to the Monument to Flight.
A view of the pilots seat.
The plane that the brothers flew.
I am not one to take photos of pictures but I could not pass this one up. It is the actual photo taken on 12/17/03.
A view from the top.
The starting point on 12/17/1903
The starting point plus three markers going down the right side indicating how far each flight went.
The first flight went 12 seconds covering 120 feet.The second flight was again 12 seconds but covered 175 feet. The third flight went 15 seconds and covered 400 feet.Flight four went 59 seconds and covered 852 feet.
This sunset is for you!!!!!!!!
What better way to end the day than watching the sun set.

The next time you fasten your seat belt on an airplane remember " man has only been flying for one hundred and six years".

We are sitting on a pier in Duck N.C. looking west toward the mainland of N.C. across the Curricuck Sound.
