Flight Friday

THE PEEPS VISITED THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

MEMORIAL IN KITTY HAWK, NC

THE ENTIRE WORLD OWES A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ORVILLE AND WILBUR's Dream TO FLY LIKE BIRDS

BEFORE THE WORLD KNEW THEM THEY OWNED 

WRIGHT BICYCLE COMPANY IN DAYTON, OHIO IN 1892

THEY HAD LOFTIER GOALS.  THEIR MECHANICAL EXPERTISE AND

INTEREST IN AERONAUTICS.

THE REASON THE CHOSE KITTY HAWK WAS IT'S REMOTENESS WHERE THEY COULD WORK UNDISTURBED.  THE WIND AND SAND DUNES WERE EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEEDED.  HERE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS MOM TOOK FROM THE

MEMORIAL. On this remote beach in 1903 Orville broke our human bond with earth
1st flight was 12 seconds flew 120 feet
2nd flight was 12 seconds flew 175 feet
3rd flight was 15 seconds flew 200 feet
4th flight was 59 seconds flew 852 feet


The memorial below was built very close to the actual
location they use to launch the first gliders
to get to the memorial you have to walk up this long sidewalk
then circle around the mound to reach the memorial
Mom and Dad for sure got in their 10,000 steps a day on this day.

Tuesday Tale: Did you know...

And...the rest of the story is there were more

bags she didn't show..because they are same brand or flavor.  Her excuse is the grocery store has been having BOGO (buy one get one free) on coffee.

Remember don't put coffee beans in your nose or ears!

 TODAY I'D LIKE TO SHARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS 

I TOOK AT THE BRITISH CEMETERY IN MEMORY OF

THE CREW OF THE HMT BEDFORDSHIRE, WWII

ON OCRACOKE ISLAND

IT WAS A VERY TOUCHING EXPERIENCE BY ALL 

ON THE TOUR

This cemetery has been maintained for all these years by the crew of Coast Guard Station on Ocracoke please

click here to read about this cemetery 

The crosses below were placed in remembrance

by the N. C. Coast Guard

Of the 4 British soldiers buried here only Lt. Cunningham  and Stanley Craig, telegraphist were identified
The other two are unknown and The remainder of the Bedfordshire crew was lost at sea


The headstones below were placed in remembrance by the
British Government

To this day the cemetery continues to receive visitors from all over. We were astonished to see all the money they leave.   The coast guard puts it money back into the care of the cemetery.

There was a British lady on our tour...she did not know about this cemetery. She was brought to tears by the kindness and beauty of the area.  Note the gold British coin.
