Bellyflops in the North Carolina mud aside, creators of the
Wright Flyer replica say it ain't over yet. In an exclusive
interview with ANN, Wright Experience Founder Ken Hyde says that
his 1903 Wright Flyer will fly again at the Wright Brother National
Memorial in Kitty Hawk (NC).
Hyde tells ANN that his sponsors have been calling, wanting to know
if it is technically and economically feasible to fly the third of
three identical aircraft sometime during 2004. “The details
are all to be worked out” Hyde said, “But there are
other Centennial events possible, and everyone has been very
supportive, knowing the aircraft has flown.”
