Wright Flyer pedal planes entertained 
the junior aviators who visited EAA’s Countdown to Kitty Hawk Pavilion.
 Digital reproductions of historical documents from the Wright brothers were provided by the Library of Congress and displayed in EAA’s Countdown to Kitty Hawk Pavilion. Visitors to EAA's Countdown to Kitty Hawk Pavilion were invited to vote for the Greatest Aviation Innovation presented by Eclipse Aviation.

 

While the Flyer was on display in the Wright brothers’ hometown of Dayton, Ohio, the Wrights’ descendents 
gathered for a photo.

 

Senator John Glenn, D-Ohio, the first American in orbit, tried out Microsoft’s Wright Flyer simulator and flew a successful mission.

 

When visitors to Dayton, Ohio’s Inventing Flight Celebration walked over to Celebration Central on Deed’s Point they were greeted by a statue of Orville and Wilbur Wright demonstrating their innovative wing warping technique.
