The first homebuilt flew here

I flew east to Germack, Ohio to get the Whirlwind prop rebuilt (its been 13 years). Stopped off in Dayton for the Hamfest and to tour the huge Airforce Museum. While there I visited the Wright Brothers sites and it got me thinking???? Why not go to Kitty Hawk, NC KFFA and see that too. Was only a 2.8 hr flight and what a cool experience. I highly recommend it. Now I tell my friends that I flew my home built to the first place a home built was flown !
 
This is a beautiful picture Wayne. What a great place KFFA is. I am coming there two times a year on average and it never gets old.
 
Great photo

As cool as KFFA is, I think it's still underrated. Next time you're in that area, head south a bit and check out Ocracoke Island. Really nifty.
 
Me too!

My son & I saw your beautiful plane there, that day. After you taxied out, we pushed my plane over into the "perfect" position.
