A Visit to Kitty Hawk on First Flight Day

For pilots and aviation enthusiasts, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is hallowed ground and visiting there on December 17th--First Flight Day--is a special thrill. At this year's First Flight Day ceremony, a newly refurbished museum was unveiled with new displays and exhibits. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli reports on the event in this video.

Being born on December 17 (1970), a lifelong aviation enthusiast, private pilot and exhibit designer at another aviation museum....I was given the nickname I'm using here, by a retired Air Force pilot.
