Only one of the Wright brothers flew first — it was Orville. The story of what happened is the brothers had attempted to fly three days earlier before the successful attempt, and they used a coin toss to decide Wilbur would get to fly first. Unfortunately, Wilbur crashed just after takeoff and the plane would need to be repaired.

The repairs took three days, and they wasted no time before attempting to fly again. Since Wilbur crashed a few days ago, it was now Orville's turn to fly. Orville did not have ideal conditions as he was facing a nearly 30 mph headwind, but he still managed to successfully fly the aircraft a distance of 120 feet. This wasn't the only flight on that day either. The brothers both flew the plane that day. In fact, they flew it a total of 4 times with the longest flight being over 800 feet.
