First Flight High School Student-Built Airplane First Flight

Watch history in the making. A remarkable milestone in local aviation is set to take place when First Flight High School’s student-built airplane makes its official first flight on April 14 at 9:00 a.m. at First Flight Airport in Kill Devil Hills. Built by students in the school’s aviation program over the past two and a half years, the two-seat aircraft recently received FAA certification, clearing the way for its inaugural flight.

The public is invited to attend and watch the launch from the same historic grounds where the Wright Brothers achieved the first powered flight. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, as parking may be limited. This event is FREE and open to the public.
