One of our planned stops as we slowly migrate up the coast. The National Park Service manages an amazing memorial to the true pioneers of flight, and the place of their first viable flights.

Wright Brothers Memorial

Immortalized

My alter ego from a different era.

Ready for Takeoff

Probably the ONLY SHOT EVER of someone posing on the Wright Brothers plane…

Launchpad

When we arrived at the monument I thought that the first flights launched off of this hill, instead they took off from flat land just below.
