The National Air & Space Museum opened in 1976, one year before I took this slide. The Wright Flyer was suspended in the entrance atrium along with the Spirit of St. Louis, the Bell X-1, and the North American X-15. More recently, the Flyer had its own display gallery.

This is the aircraft that started it all, the first powered aircraft. When I visited the Smithsonian in 1978 it was suspended from the roof of the museum as seen here but on a more recent visit (2004) it has a hall to itself.
