While driving into work this morning, I found myself stopped at a stoplight behind a car from Ohio with the license plate reading, "Birthplace of Aviation" for the slogan.
I immediately thought, "I thought that was North Carolina?" Now after some quick research on the Wright Brothers, I found out they were born in Ohio.
So I'm hoping that's the explains it?
But has anyone ever noticed this?
Or does anyone have a real answer to this?

that's all that place is known for? A place that those guys DIDNT want to be in to accomplish their first flight.

OHIO stays reaching for accolades

[font=arial,helvetica]It took a hundred years, but this week, Congress got it right - Ohio, not North Carolina, is the birthplace of aviation. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica]The U.S. House voted 378-3 for a resolution naming Dayton, Ohio - home of Wilbur and Orville Wright - as the place where aviation was born. The measure passed the Senate late Thursday on a voice vote. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica]Daytonians have known that for nearly a century, but North Carolinians have been making the claim that powered flight was born on an Outer Banks hill called Kitty Hawk, where the Wright brothers experimented and made their first flight on Dec. 17, 1903. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica]Naturally, the three votes against the House resolution were cast by North Carolina congressmen. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica]Ohio - where the phrase "Birthplace of Aviation" is etched on license plates - was where flight was born, Buckeyes claim, because the Wright brothers made their plans and constructed their aircraft in their bicycle shop on Dayton's West Side. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica]Ohio is also the state that has produced the most astronauts, 24 in all, including John Glenn and Neil Armstrong. [/font]

Yeah, but that analogy doesn't work - the plane was designed in OH too - not just put together.
