That picture looks like Orville’s 1911 glider, not 1903. The pilot
is sitting upright not prone. Orville went back to Kitty Hawk and Soared the
Glider for 9 minutes, 45 seconds October 24, 1911.


That was an American Soaring record that stood until Ralph Barnaby broke it at
Corn Hill on Cape Cod MA. 15 minutes, 6 seconds and became the first American to
win an international soaring certificate, August 18, 1929.





Next weekend a large contingent of North East HG Pilots are descending on Cape
Cod to fly in the Last (Maybe) Cape Cod Halloween Fly In. Our Host Chuck Nyhlan
is selling the Seascape Inn . So this may be the last year we can fly out of the
back of the Motel on top of the ridge.
