1904: Wrights
built 183 days ago
The 1904 Flyer was not a stable aircraft. It had a tendency to pitch up and down and often the Wrights could not stop it from turning once it began. Consequently, most flights were short.

Just a few months before the 1904 season opened, Orville and Wilbur Wright made their mark on history. At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers became the first to achieve manned, controlled, powered, heavier-than-air flight. In August of 1921, less than 20 years after the historic flight, the Marysville Merchants of Marysville, California, became the first baseball team to travel to a game via an airplane, the Friesley Falcon airliner.

The Wright made 105 flights in 1904, racking up 45 minutes in total flight time. The two best flights (9 Nov and 1 Dec) exceeded 5 minutes and about 3 miles (almost four circles of the field).
