Celebrating Wright Brothers Day
The Birth of Modern Aviation
On December 17th, we celebrate Wright Brothers Day, marking the remarkable achievement that forever changed the course of human history. On this day in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished what many thought impossible – the first successful powered, controlled aircraft flight near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
At Safety in Motion Flight Center, we're proud to carry forward the Wright brothers' legacy of innovation and determination in aviation. Their groundbreaking invention of aircraft controls made fixed-wing flight possible and laid the foundation for modern flight training and aviation safety that we practice every day at our Puyallup and Olympia, WA locations.
Wright Brothers Day reminds us of the incredible spirit of American innovation that the Wright brothers embodied. Their courage, cooperation, and unwavering dedication to their vision transformed humanity's relationship with the skies.
From those first 12 seconds of flight at Kitty Hawk to today's advanced aviation training, the Wright brothers' achievement continues to inspire new generations of pilots. Whether you're pursuing your Private Pilot license or dreaming of taking your first flight, you're part of this amazing legacy.
As we celebrate this historic day, we invite you to explore your own aviation dreams. Visit Safety in Motion Flight Center to learn how you can become part of aviation history. Stop dreaming, start flying today!
