The morning of the BooBanks wedding we had time to kill so we went to the Wright Brothers Monument and State Park. It was pretty neat to see all the stuff they had. We walked up to the monument and took a few pics. Quiz: Which brother made the first flight, Orville or Wilbur? The answer is after the pics.
Quiz answer: Orville
The morning after BooBanks' wedding a group of us got up early and went hang gliding on Jockey's Ridge. It's a big sand dune in Kitty Hawk very near where the Wright Brothers made their first flight.
You got some instructions first then headed out to the dune to give it a try. It was a lot harder than you'd think. All you really have to do is relax. Easier said than done when you're running off the side of a steep dune.
You got 5 flights each and all of us had at least one good flight. Jonny had the best crash. A picture perfect nosedive 50 feet after liftoff!
Jonny eating it!
Nic looking good!
TG shows everyone up!
Bakes sticks the landing..kinda!
MB looks just like Orville did!
