LAST EDITED ON Oct-25-01 AT 03:00AM (EDT)[p]hi,

where is this place? has anyone actually seen the wright flyer, and can you explain exactly where to get it. i only know they did it at kitty hawk, NC, on 17 December 1903... but at what time?

***
update: alright, i found the place: "the actual flight took place four miles south from the base of Kill Devil Hill."

kitty hawk is not listed as a town in fs, but kill devil hill is there, if i remember correctly.

But this leaves the exact time?

I don't know about the exact time, but Kitty hawk is on the 'Outer Banks', which is a bay with beachhouses up and down it. The biggest town is Corrolla to the north, with a string of towns south of it, including Nags Head, Killdevil Hills, and Kitty Hawk(the smallest).
