Amazing capture of an awesome historical moment when the Orville Wright brothers dared to soar their invention across rough terrain, Thomas! Now, this definitely would be well placed in an Aeronautical Museum! Excellent work! Fave! L/F/FB/P!

Thanks Kimberly, it took a long weekend to clean up the original, re-position the plane & then colorize it so that it looks like this photo was taken yesterday. Where else would you go to create a little aviation history than a place like Kill Devil Hill !
