After years of research, planning, failed attempts, but an unshakeable resolve, two bicycle inventors from Ohio took flight on the sand dunes of Kill Devil Hills. The first flight only lasted 12 seconds and took Orville Wright a mere 120' with a ground speed of 6.8 mph, but it completed a dream and set into motion a century of unimaginable aviation exploration. #wrightbrothers #flight #aviation #birthplaceofaviation #aviationpioneers #firstairplaneride✈️ #wilburwright #orvillewright 🇺🇸 (at Wright Brothers National Memorial)
