A Century of Flight                                         http://www.centennialofflight.gov/user/Media_Kit_03.htm

     On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m., the world's first successful powered aircraft lifted off the beach at the Outer Banks, North Carolina for a 12-second, 120-foot journey. A new industry was born, and a new way of life followed closely behind.
     Driven by two brothers unwavering in their task, that flight accomplished what people had only imagined since the beginning of time. Realizing this dream took more than wings, wheels and a motor.  It took the spirit of adventure, the tenacity brought on by risk and failure, and the desire to achieve

a freedom which humans had never before experienced.
     No invention has made such an indelible imprint on our world as the airplane. In 2003, the national celebration Centennial of Flight: Born of Dreams - Inspired by Freedom will commemorate the world's rich history of aviation accomplishments through events, symposiums, air shows, special programming, exhibits, tours, educational outreach and more throughout the country.   Visit the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission at  www.centennialofflight.gov
