FLIGHT DETAILS
On December 17, 1903, two brothers stood atop a hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and changed the world forever.
To celebrate this momentous event, our Community Fly-In Friday this week will start at the birthplace of flight, the site of the Wright Brothers’ first flight in Kill Devil Hills!
This event will also serve as Stage 1 of our new series, the Community Fly-In Friday World Tour! Departing from Kitty Hawk, we will spend many, many weeks flying to the capital cities of every UN member state in one continuous flight plan!

LET’S FLY
This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.
