The big day is almost here.
On Wednesday, December 17, 2003, at 10:35 a.m., at the Wright Memorial at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, a pilot will climb aboard the most accurate Wright Flyer reproduction ever constructed and proceed to go flying, just as Orville Wright did for the first time precisely 100 years to the minute before. While a handful of observers looked on, Orville took to the air in a flight that lasted a mere 12 seconds but immeasurably changed the world.
