Pilot Kevin Kochersberger rides the Experimental Aviation Association's (EAA) 1903 Wright flyer reproduction down the 180 foot rail in his first attempt to reenact the "12 seconds that changed the world" during the Centennial of Flight celebration at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (NC), December 17, 2003. The prevailing winds that brought the brothers to Kitty Hawk for their flight experiments weren't on hand at the Centennial of flight celebration. Despite two attempts between storm fronts the EAA crew was only able to get their 1903 Wright flyer reproduction about six inches off its rail before crashing at the end before a crowd of some 34,000 aviation enthusiasts

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
