By Presidential Proclamation, December 17 is Wright Brothers Day. The President is requested each year to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Wright Brothers Day is an annual United States national observation. It is codified in the US Code and Wright Brothers Day commemorates the first successful flights in a heavier than air, mechanically propelled airplane, made by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

The Wright brothers were American brothers, inventors and aviation pioneers...

I was born & raised in Dayton, OH - not far from the Wright Bros bike shop.

Their actual first flight, albeit very short, was in an open field in the Huffman Hills area of Dayton.

You can’t fool me. You just photoshopped out the wires hanging from the skyhooks.

To celebrate any other day...would just not be Wright.

The First Wright Stuff!

I visited the Wright Bros. memorial in KDH in the summer of 2003. I was impressed with the place.

Have you noticed that “progressives” instinctively oppose all innovation? Uber, Fracking, Bitcoin, etc., etc.

The Wright Brothers would’ve stayed in the bike shop today.

That’s one of my favorite photographs of all time. I have it hanging up in my house.

Higher institutions of learning presently frown upon and prohibit the term “brothers” as being a negative term.
Please use “ sexually similar siblings” in its place. Thank you.

Thus let`s celebrate “Sexually Similar Wright Siblings Day” -[sarc]

I noticed the shoes on their right feet do not seem to match the shoes on their left feet.

Primitive photography?
