On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard.
This Wright Flyer is a full size and fully operational replica of the Wright Brothers model A bi-plane, which has been constructed in Narromine, NSW, Australia by self-confessed Wright Brothers fanatics, Eric and Keith Hayden. The day attracted 13,500 people with 504 aircraft landing.
