Kitty Hawk

Kitty Hawk is a town in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 2,991 at the 2000 census. It was established in the early 1700s as Chickahawk.
Kitty Hawk was made famous on December 17, 1903, when the Wright brothers from Dayton, Ohio made the first controlled, powered airplane flights four miles (6 km) away near the sand dunes known as the Kill Devil Hills. The Wright Brothers then returned to Dayton where they actually developed a practical airplane through testing at Huffman Prairie through 1904-05.
The aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber AV-19, the aircraft transport ship USS Kitty Hawk (AKV-1), and the Apollo 14 command module have been named for the town. (...) more....
