Visit aviation’s birthplace
The history of aviation is well documented and fairly brief. And that makes it easy to experience. A must-do on any pilot’s list is a pilgrimage to Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina, the site of the Wright brothers’ first powered flight. The United States is rightfully proud of its place in aviation history, and nowhere is that more on display than aviation’s birthplace. The Wright Brothers National Memorial includes detailed information about their first flights, a visitor’s center—and, of course, an active airport.
