Typical Wright Brothers day

It was cold and windy from the northeast and overcast from time to time, as observors gathered on the "hill" to commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the first powered flight made by Orville and Wilber Wright in 1903. The gathering was treated to several different skydiving sessions. One flyer carried a large American flag unfurling to the ground. Another carried a smaller North Carolina flag. The plane flyover was sparse compared to the previous two years, but exciting nonetheless. Many of the locals gathered all along the Colington road to watch the spectacle from a distance, without braving the chilling winds up on the hill.
