Wright Brother's Day

Today was the 101st anniversary of powered flight and was celebrated at the Wright Brothers Monument in Kill Devil Hills, NC. The crowds were much, much smaller this year than last when we even played host to the President and entourage. The flyover was much smaller too, consisting of only the local Coast Guard planes and a quad of F-15's from Oceana. The weather was much nicer this year, as it was not raining, but still a bit nippy. There probably would not have been enough wind this year either to sail that homemade bird. Some pics are here:
