On a long car ride growing up have you ever played the license plate game? If so, what is North Carolina’s slogan that they proudly display on each of their license plates? In our state of North Carolina we pride ourselves on being “first in flight” and represent the slogan on our states license plates. Wilbur and Orville Wright’s life changing accomplishment provided North Carolina with this world wide honor after choosing Kitty Hawk, NC to test their heavier-than-air flying machine. I will explore the Wright Brothers contributions to North Carolina from the past, present, and future. I will examine their background, accomplishments, and what exactly brought the brothers to North Carolina.
