The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights were made that day with. Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.
Thanks to a coin toss, Orville was the first brother airborne. The brothers tossed a coin to see who would first test the Wright Flyer on the sands of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Older brother Wilbur won the toss, but his first attempt on December 14, 1903, was unsuccessful and caused minor damage to the aircraft. Three days later, Orville, in coat and tie, lay flat on his stomach on the planeâs lower wing and took the controls.
