Adopt the 1905 Wright Flyer III as the state airplane
This bill designates the 1905 Wright Flyer III as the official state airplane of the state. It achieves this by amending the state code to formally recognize the historic aircraft, which was the first successful powered flight. The legislation does not authorize the purchase of the plane or require any government agency to operate it. Instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture to honor the Wright brothers' invention and its historical significance.
