Wright brothers



Did all the inventing and experimenting in Dayton... Needed the ocean wind to complete experiment. Both states take credit

North Carolina, come on and raise up.

Take your shirt off, spin it around your head like a helicopter.

Ohio

North Carolina is like giving the moon credit for the moon landing.

Both Ohio and North Carolina claim to be "first in flight" because of their associations with the Wright Brothers who:

Lived and operated their business in Ohio and had their first successful airplane launch in North Carolina

For the landmark purpose, I'd say it's North Carolina since that's where the flight actually happened

i guess we're just ignoring all those people who flew in balloons long before the Wrights?

^yep

You would presume that someone with the wherewithal to reference ballooning would understand the context of the phrase "first in flight" as it pertains to the United States but perhaps that's far too presumptuous on my part and they somehow didn't actually make that connection. Or they're being a contrarian for the sake of going "ha, got 'em" on the internet. I'll never understand that latter bit.

That's why Ohio prefers the title "Birth of Aviation'
