Trivia…
You say tomato…?
I need to catch up on my American history!
Oooohhh, okay…. The Wright Brothers worked on the idea for their planes and gliders in Ohio and built them in Ohio, where they were from… but, the wind and altitude were more ideal in North Carolina for flying, so the first successful flight was here. Conceived in Ohio, born in North Carolina… who gets the credit? ;)
Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know this? :)

Well, if we were to get technical about it, these two license plates do not necessarily contradict each other. While the first actual flight did take place in North Carolina, the science of aviation could more appropriately be said to have been born in Ohio, where all the work was done before the big parade moment.
But, if we have to pick sides, I say Ohio gets the credit.
Love,
