Wright Brothers Memorial Benchmark Geocoin

To travel to the Wright Brothers Museum, in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, have my picture taken in front of and around the museum, then sent back to Eugene, Or. Try to take a picture with it when you pick it up or drop it off in a cache as it will be fun to watch its travels!

A little background:

I took my first flight in a small Piper out of Creswell field in Creswell, Or when I was in the 3rd grade. I still will never forget the feeling I had as I lifted off the ground for the first time. Since then, i've never looked back.

I am currently in flight traning for my Private Pilots License, about five flight hours away from finishing! I am a freshman at the University of Oregon, and want a career in aviation.

My grandfather served in the Navy as a pilot throughout the 30s into the 1950s. He was a dive bomber, and retired as a Commander.

This geocoin is my way of connecting my two hobbies together into a keep sake for myself. I want to work hard through college and stay focused so I can pursue my dream with the Navy in my grandfathers footsteps.

I was born a pilot, and always will be one, and so I want to send this coin to the place where it all started, and be able to get this coin back, and carry with me everytime I fly to remind me where it all started, where i've come from, and to help me towards where i'm going.

Please help me with this by sending this to Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina to the Wright Brothers museum. Take some pictures with the coin in the picture, and send this back to Eugene, Or for me to have with me as a keepsake.

All I ask is please try to not hold on to the coin for very long, and try to keep it in fairly good shape.

Thanks again for everyones help. By having fun and employing your hobby, you can help my career and dream. I saw this coin and new this was something I had to do.

As said by Leonardo Da Vinci,

“When once you have tasted flight you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward for there you have been, and there you will always be.”
