October, Orlando: Be There!
As part of the National Business Aviation Association's
celebration of 100 years of flight, the Experimental Aircraft
Association (EAA) Countdown to Kitty Hawk exhibit will make a stop
at the NBAA 56th Annual Meeting & Convention, October 7 through
9, 2003, at the Orlando/Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in
Orlando (FL).
EAA's Countdown to Kitty Hawk is a centennial celebration of the
Wright brothers' first powered flight. Led by EAA, presented by
Ford Motor Company, and supported by Microsoft Flight Simulator and
Eclipse Aviation, this yearlong series of inspirational events
honors the innovation and determination it takes to make
world-changing dreams a reality.
EAA's
1903 Wright Flyer reproduction is the centerpiece of the Countdown
to Kitty Hawk exhibit. In addition to the aircraft, the exhibit at
NBAA will celebrate the Wright brothers' first flight with displays
on the Wright brothers, aviation history and aviation innovations.
The Wright Flyer reproduction will be on display in Hall C of the
OCCC.
"It's been a very exciting 100 years as flight has developed
beyond even the inspired imagination of the Wright brothers," said
NBAA President Jack Olcott. "NBAA is proud to host the Countdown to
Kitty Hawk exhibit at its Annual Meeting & Convention as the
business aviation community looks toward the next century of
aviation challenges and opportunities."
Flyer is Convention's Only Biplane
