kitty hawk

Some people like to strap a huge motorized fan onto their backs and sail over the clouds as a hobby. When I see these flying machines at the beach I'm reminded of the Wright brothers and other aviation pioneers who tried and tried again to get into the air with all sorts of contraptions.

The first successful powered flight by Orville Wright in 1903 lasted 12 seconds! Kitty Hawk is the name of the town in North Carolina where the Wright brothers did their test flights.
