A planned re-enactment of Orville Wright’s 12 second powered flight 100 years earlier on December 17, 1903 was not shown due to in climate weather. The re-enactment was planned for 1035 a.m. and a subsequent attempt in the afternoon, which failed, was also not shown.

President Bush and other officials spoke to the crowd gathered in front of a rain-soaked stage about the importance of the Wright brothers and the impact of flight over the past century. close
