The modern-day Wright Brothers, who began this journey in December, are planning to make their final stop at Kitty Hawk, NC in December, 2003 as part of the First Flight Centennial® Celebration, commemorating the first historic flight made by Orville and Wilbur.

These modern Wright Brothers have been sanctioned by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), and are carrying a secure flight recorder to validate and document this historic voyage. They've also agreed to offer their Piper Cherokee aircraft to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. for display, at the completion of the journey.
