12/16/23 — Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open containers, please.

Just in time for holiday travel, tomorrow is the 120th anniversary of the 1st powered flight by our hometown bicycle-building flyboys, the Wright Bros. Coincidentally, the time from us back to them is about the same as they were beyond the 1st hot air balloon. Read this book on your flights & layovers!

The Wright Brothers achieved the first powered sustained aircraft flight on 17 December 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville, the pilot, flew for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet in the air. Wilbur ran alongside the plane during the flight; a picture of the historic moment is shown below. #TheWrightBrothers #KittyHawk #PoweredFlight #17December1903 #Orville #Wilbur #SustainedAircraftFlight
