Hi all. I was cruising around the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and I was sure I'd see the Kitty Hawk site, but nada. I know the area is remote and not built up, but a site that is so important to the history of flight should be modeled in the game, don't you think?

The most famous aviation photograph ever taken. The Wright biplane, piloted by Orville Wright, has just taken off from a monorail launching strip on a field at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on 17 December 1903. Wilbur Wright, running along the right side of the aircraft, held onto the wing to balance the machine until it left the monorail. This is the only photograph of the world's first flight in a power driven heavier than air machine, which was invented by Wilbur and Orville Wright.
