The Wrights first flew powered aircraft at Kitty Hawk. I wrote about it on the hundredth anniversary. Unfortunately, both the Fox News piece and the TechCentralStation piece have succombed to link rot, but the National Review piece can be found in the Wayback Machine. I’ll do a search to see if I can find the other two. Doing three separate pieces in a single day on different aspects of the event was sort of a tour de force of my early blogging days.

Well, Grok can’t find them. I should have made copies when they were still available. They may be lost to history.
[Late-afternoon update]
Thanks to commenter Douglas McKinnie, who dug them up. Here is the TechCentralStation piece, and this is the Fox News one. Note that, with regard to the latter, it was written shortly after SpaceX had been founded, but years before their first flight. But they followed my recommended path.
[Late-evening update]
Sorry, TCS link was bad, fixed now.
