The Wright brothers daring adventure in 1903 started a new age of travel. On December 17, 1903 it was cold and windy in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was not a good day to go to the beach, but they were very determined brothers headed there anywhere. They hoped to get their latest invention off the ground and they invented an airplane. His team also studied the original flyer which now hangs in Smithsonian national Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. It has been a long time since the first airplane was invented. Now there's helicopters, space shuttles, sattelites, jets, and there may be UFOs. Who knows!
