Whereas 2003 marks the centennial of Wilbur and Orville Wright's achievement of
the first controlled, powered flight in history;
Whereas Wilbur and Orville Wright grew up and worked at a bicycle shop in
Dayton, Ohio, where they developed, built, and refined the first
successful, heavier-than-air, manned, powered aircraft;
Whereas the Wright brothers developed the world's first flying field, the
world's first flying school, and the world's first airplane
manufacturing company in the Dayton area;
Whereas many legacies of the Wrights' inventiveness and creativity still exists
in the region, including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Dayton
Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, the United States Air Force
Museum, the National Aviation Hall of Fame, the Wright ``B'' Flyers, and
the Engineers Club of Dayton;
Whereas the city of Dayton, area communities, a number of civic groups, private
businesses, government agencies, and military partners, are joining
together to honor the Nation's aerospace achievements;
Whereas Dayton is considered the ``Birthplace of Aviation'' and from July 3
through July 20, 2003, the Dayton region will host ``Inventing Flight:
The Centennial Celebration'', the largest public centennial event in
Ohio celebrating the first flight and one of only 4 events nationwide
endorsed as a full partner by the United States Centennial of Flight
Commission; and
Whereas the celebration will feature pavilions with aviation displays, blimp and
hot-air balloon races, dance and cultural performances, river shows,
historical reenactments, an international air and space symposium,
National Aviation Hall of Fame ceremonies, and a military and general
aviation show at the Dayton International Airport: Now, therefore, be it
