Great shots, I like Ashar's a bit more though.  Cool to know and remember going down to the Wright Brothers Memorial though.

Wow.

May the best screenshot artist win.

Looks like Clipper picked the [W]right one

I have a question...When the Wright Brothers flew...They didn't exactly have that sign on the ground did they?

I will however say it's a smashing entry 8-)

I think you mean memorial, not sign. That was created in 1932.

However, I believe Danny did it in the spirit of the event: A salute to the magical moment in the Kill Devil Hills in December 1903.

For you history buffs:

Memorial Dedication
November 14, 1932 was selected as the dedication day; over 20,000 people were expected to attend. Yet, only about 1,000 actually came to the event, which was held on a stormy and windy day. Orville Wright was the main guest of honor at the ceremony and aviator Ruth Nichols (aviation pioneer: She was the only woman yet to hold simultaneous world records for speed, altitude, and distance for a female pilot) was given the privilege of removing the American flag that covered the word "GENIUS" and the plaque on the monument. President Herbert Hoover was unable to attend the ceremony; however, a letter from the President was read prior to the dedication.

Memorial...That's the word...I had just woken up...I think I took the topic title a little too seriously... :-/

nice shots, both have very nice qualities but i prefer ashars

This was a tough call...but my choice has been made, good luck to the both of you.

Well done guys, both are superb!

My fave is Clippers though just because of the historical achievment
