On this day in 1983, the Wright brothers made their first powered flight in a heavier-than-air aircraft at Kitty Hawk, NC. It's not that long ago folks, 118 years. In 1785, 118 years before that, the Treaty of Paris was 2 years old and the Constitution was not yet written. #OTD https://t.co/z0EkOQvlkV

Wright Brothers Day celebrates their inaugural flight in 1903. The maiden flight was about 12 seconds long in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It wouldn’t be until 1911, that Harriet Quimby would become the first American woman to receive a pilot's license. 📷: National Archives https://t.co/TfPzQ12a1N

Today is #WrightBrothersDay! On this day in 1903, the Wright Brothers tested the first airplane designed in Dayton, Ohio, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina! The effort took nearly 4 years of experimentation, but after a short, successful flight, humans achieved the ability to fly!
