It is indeed an amazing story of how far aviation has come since that first little hop-flight in 1903. The memorial is not too fancy but really well done. The working replica of their plane is in the visitor center and they gave a demonstration of how the innovated controls worked. One of my, “I didn’t know that moments”. The Wright Brothers real accomplishment was not getting a plane into the air, it was inventing and creating the controls to keep it there and guide it.
Another tidbit. A small piece of wood and fabric from the Wright brother’s plane went to the moon with Neil Armstrong. First flight to a walk on the surface of the moon in 66 years.
