Pilots!

Wright Brothers Day is celebrated in the United States on December 17 each year. The date commemorates the Wright brothers' first successful flight in heavier-than-air, mechanically propelled craft, accomplished on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

In addition to being the first to achieve powered flight, the Wright brothers are also credited with designing and developing world’s first military airplane. Purchased by the US Army in the fall of 1909, the Wright Military Flyer was used to train pilots for approximately a year and then donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1911 after the Army had acquired other aircraft.
