Where did the first flights happen?

Description

Wilbur and Orville did two different types of experiments here at the park: gliding and powered flying. Their gliders took off from the Kill Devil Hills, the sand dunes in the area at the time, including Big Hill where the Wright Brothers Monument stands today. Their powered flights, the first flights, took off from the flat ground outside their camp. This spot is marked by the First Flight Boulder and Flight Line today.
