Huffman Prairie and Wright Memorial (March 30, 2023)

Blue skies, a little chilly as it was 50 degrees as I got out but a nice ride. Rode out to Huffman Prairie Flying Field which was the first airport in the world. The Wright's tested new designs and they had a flight school there. The Wright Monument is a few miles up the road, was created to honor the Wright Brothers a few years after their historic flight at Kitty Hawk. The catapult at bottom is at Huffman Prairie, my Triumph can be seen behind it and in front of the field. More can be found on my Ohio and Me page.
