Does the original 1903 Wright Flyer still exist?
Yes. The original 1903 Wright Flyer is hanging in the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. While it is no longer flyable, several groups are creating either reproduction or replica models of the plane for celebrations in 2003. EAA’s 1903 Wright Flyer reproduction will be flown at Kitty Hawk, N.C., on Dec. 17, 2003, exactly 100 years after the very first powered flight.
