Vintage 2000s-era tee for the 100th Anniversary of the Wright Bros’ famous First Flight on the beaches of the Outer Banks in North Carolina

Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903 at 10:35 am in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their machine, the Wright Flyer, flew 120 feet in 12 seconds, fundamentally launching the aviation age. This historic event is honored by North Carolina’s “First in Flight” motto.

The Flyer joined the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of historic aircraft in 1948, and is currently on display in a place of honor at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Front side design shows a beautiful multicolor screen printed graphic of the Wright Flyer in a postage stamp style design. “The Wright Brothers” text at the top, “First in Flight” below the biplane, and “100 Years of Aviation” at the bottom
