Which License Plate Says "First in Flight"?

North Carolina license plates bear the slogan "First in Flight."

🛩️ Why?

On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright brothers (Orville & Wilbur) achieved the world's first controlled, sustained, powered heavier-than-air flight. Orville's first flight: 120 feet in 12 seconds.
