December 17th: The 107th Anniversary of Flight
The US Air Force will mark 17 December 2010 as the 107th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ successful heavier-than-air powered flight.
While the flight occurred at Kitty Hawk, NC, a ceremony will be held at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. The Wrights were from Dayton and did much of their pre-flight experimentation and planning in Ohio.
