Awesome story!!!

That was a great area for it too.

lol Now it’s probably covered by beach houses, if they haven’t preserved it.

The site itself is in great shape. Awesome monument to the Wright Bros. and flight at the top of the hill. Spent the whole week there for the 100th anniversary celebration in 2003.Two bad the replica flyer only made it about five feet before tipping over. Wind speed to get airborne was was too low.

I thought it was a preserved historical park. I remember seeing videos of the one hundredth anniversary and i remember seeing a large, open area with an obelisk marking the location the wright flyer took off.
