North Carolina's Northeast is home to one of the greatest events in history--man's first flight by the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville. On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m. with Orville at the controls, the right flyer lifted into the air. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. It was the world's first flight and Outer Banksman John T. Daniels recorded the moment in one of the world's most famous photographs. That it was no fluke was proved when brother Wilbur took the controls of this first airplane at 11:20 and took it 195 feet. Then Orville flew 200 feet over 15 seconds. And then Wilbur set the rapidly increasing world record to 852 feet over fifty-nine seconds.

October 1900, they flew a glider several times at Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk, NC. They came back every year thereafter flying their gliders until December 17, 1903 when they made their first powered flight.

Right. No, write. No, Wright!
Wright Brothers.
I assume you mean their first powered flight, for which they are famous. 12/17/1903.

1903, Kill Devil Sand Dunes, Kittyhawk, North Carolina, USA.
It was the Wright Brothers.
You should not write Wright as "Write", right?

I thought the "Write Brothers" made ink pens.
