Wright Wood

A frustrated Wilbur exclaimed to Orville in August 1901,
"Not in a thousand years will man ever fly."
But they flew.
Then they flew some more.
They built a sturdy hangar out of heartwood on Huffman Prairie in 1905.
Same wood they built their flying contraptions from.
Good wood.
Worthy wood.
The brothers knew that flying machines made from metal may some day get off the ground,
but they would never have the same soul.
