- "That's the Wright Brothers' plane. At Kitty Hawk in 1903 Charles Lindbergh flew it 15 miles on a thimble full of corn oil. Single-handedly won us the Civil War, it did."

| Town/City Information
|
Kitty Hawk is a beach town in North Carolina popularly noted as where the Wright brothers flew the first controlled flight by an airplane in history on December 17, 1903.
History
Grampa mentioned Kitty Hawk when he and Bart saw the Wright Brothers' plane at the airshow but then went off on one of his nonsensical ramblings.[1]
Footage from the Wright brothers' first flight in Kitty Hawk was shown at the Springfield Air and Space Museum.[2]
Behind the Laughter
For the 50th anniversary in 1953 the site of the first flight was incorporated into a separate town named Kill Devil Hills.
