Welcome to the First Flight Society OnlineWright Flyer
Commemorating the First Flights of the Wright Brothers December 17, 1903

re-creation flight on JockeyThe First Flight Society is proud of its 75-year record of honoring and promoting flight, and one of the most important ways we do that is to invite others to participate in events and activities. For example, October 1902 marked the Wright brothers' successful experiments on the Outer Banks (at Jockey's Ridge in Nags Head) where they perfected their glider's control system. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of that event, the First Flight Society supported a re-creation in which glider pilots from across the globe participated. It was just one of many activities the Society supports or organizes.
