Commemorating First Flight Backwards

 

Social media users have mocked Ohio after its launch of a number plate to mark the first motorised flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 crash landed. The US state's new design, unveiled by Governor Mike DeWine, sported a banner attached to the plane that boasted Ohio was the "Birthplace of Aviation". But the banner, which should have been trailing behind the plane, was actually attached to its front.

[Understandable since the Wright Flyer sported canard elevators, which could easily be mistaken for tail fins.]

One poster mocked that "even the Wright brothers went back to the drawing board", while another joked that the state government had "one job".
