The Buckeye State became the cockeyed state after botching the design of the iconic Wright Brothers plane while rolling out its new license plates.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was left red-faced as the birthplace of aviation unveiled the new Sunshine In Ohio license plate on October 21, the fourth new plate in the last 20 years.
DeWine wanted the plate to reflect the 'heart and soul' of the Buckeye State as well as the 'beauty' of the seal Ohio, all the diverse cities and the aviation heritage.
However, the plate created by the DMV flipped the orientation on the famed 1903 Wright Flyer, an easy mistake to make by agency's beauracrats.
The botched license plate design swapped the location of the elevators, putting them on the tail end of the plane, located on the right side by the shape of Ohio, instead of in the front. And it's a push prop design — the propeller is supposed to be behind Orville Wright's feet as he faces the elevators.
The corrected plate shows the elevators in front, as the a prone Orville flies toward the left side of the plate, who was the first in the world to take flight in 1903 from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Maybe they took the picture on their way back?
Close enough for government work, right?
Listen to your Masters, Subjects! Do not question them or their abilities!
Obozo’s advisors selected the photo.
what a canard!!
Kansas
The elevators on the plane should be in front, so it just depends on whether they wanted the plane flying away from the sun, or towards it.
It will be worth a fortune to plate collectors.

I am continually amazed by the Dems that live around me who constantly criticize government, then vote for more of it.
Only the Federal Government has the power to do that.
Ohio effs up a great deal but I heard rep Jim Johnson rip CRT and it was historic
So how much is the original plate worth now?
/s
I have a Masters graduate degree - does that make me a racist to the wokesters?
Exactly right. In the top image, if the plane is flying left to right, it is absolutely correct. Which means the “corrected” version is wrong.
Right. There is no wrong way...
LOL...You win the Internet for today!
Nobody said that being a DemocRAT was a sign of intelligence.
That depends on that degree.
I think they wanted the plane to look like it’s pulling a banner. If so, then the original image really is wrong.
