First Flight Airport
You won't see the runway until on final, but the Wright Memorial is easy to see and about 300 yd east of the runway. Rolling out on 2 or 20 you are about 500ft from where it all began in December 1903. Every pilot should land here. A literally awesome place.

Call Ahead
You should call ahead before flying in... no fuel available. Weather changes quickly -- no ASOS. Must register to park overnight, but stay is limited. No services available.
