Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 24575830, member: 100459"]Just curious.  What did the Wright Brothers achieve while they resided in Ohio?  Did they build their airplane in Ohio?  I know they started on the design to build a "glider" in Ohio.  I believe they completed their construction of their airplane/glider in North Carolina and then they finished constructing their airplane in North Carolina and due to the strong winds at Kitty Hawk, NC, they used it to help them fly their "motorized kite" for the first time that man could fly.  Their ideas and hard work helped fill the sky with huge airplanes. I have 2 favorite states. The First is, naturally, North Carolina, and the second is Indiana, due to the Indy 500, which I only had one time to go to the race.  I was staying with my Uncle, and he took me to the race.  Now, I get to watch it on the TV, avoiding the horrible noise.[/QUOTE]
