Ford's 100th Anniversary Celebration June 12-16

Join in the Celebration of Ford Motor Company's Past, Present and Exciting Future in Dearborn, Michigan

Ford Motor Company is proud of its long-standing relationship with EAA and excited to be the presenting sponsor of EAA's Countdown to Kitty Hawk, the centennial celebration of the Wright Brothers' first flight in 1903 - the same year Ford Motor Company was founded.

As one of the premier innovators of his generation, Henry Ford was fascinated by flight and shared a vision with the fellow inventors of his era including his friends Orville and Wilbur Wright. They shared a passion for innovation and a limitless approach to inventing and advancing personal mobility.

It's only fitting that EAA's Countdown to Kitty Hawk Touring Pavilion be included in THE ROAD IS OURS 100th Anniversary Celebration.

Don't miss your chance to view an exact reproduction of the1903 Wright Flyer, as well as:

  • Several interactive flight simulator stations of the 1903 Wright Flyer developed by Microsoft
  • Actors who will perform a play specifically written for the 100th anniversary of flight and assume the roles of 1903 Kitty Hawk resident, Bill Tate and fictional flying machine inventor, Travis Fowler, to give visitors spirited insight into the remarkable discovery of flight.
  • A large digital countdown clock counting down the minutes to the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight
  • Opportunities to vote for the greatest aviators and aviation innovations of the last 100 years
  • An interactive exhibit featuring Ford Motor Company's 100 years of innovation and its history in aviation
