The first successful gasoline-powered manned airplane flight took
place near Kitty Hawk, NC. on this day in 1903. Orville and Wilbur
Wright made the flight.
While Wright Brothers were building the Flyer they continued to make
practice flights with their 1902 glider (above). They made about 2000
total glides.
Television history was made on this day in 1969 when singer Tiny
Tim and Miss Vicki Budinger were married on "The Tonight Show"
with Johnny Carson on NBC.
