unclejimbo100 years ago almost to the minute. Sadly, the weather at Kitty Hawk today is rainy and cold. I don't think that the Ford replical of the Wright Flyer is going to go up today.
*sigh* I really wanted to see it fly too...
Still, it is pretty amazing that a couple of guys in a bicycle shop ushered in the age of aviation. I think they'd be amazed at the things we can do now.
Oh well...
"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day..." ^^
