Kitty Hawk
The name of the first airplane flown at Kitty Hawk by the Wright Brothers on Dec. 17, 1903 was “Flyer.” The maiden flight of the Flyer, however, was less than a flight — the plane stayed in the air only 12 seconds. The brothers flew three more times that day, with their final flight covering 852 feet in 59 seconds.
