Monument to a Century of Flight Worth a Visit.
Hidden from the road behind the Aycock Brown Welcome Center in Kitty Hawk, the Monument to a Century of Flight is a tribute to the power of flight and artistic vision. Atlas Obscura tells the story and gives the background.
“In a village in Eastern North Carolina, just down the road from the site where the Wright brothers lifted off and became the first in flight, is a big monument hardly anyone has heard of.
In the early 2000s, Kitty Hawk was planning for the Century of Flight celebration to mark the 100-year anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ monumental aviation achievement. The area already had a monument at the Wright Brothers National Park, but they wanted another one.”
