The AIAA Wright Flyer Project was recently visited by a film crew from NHK, the national public broadcasting system in Japan.
NHK is producing three twenty minute films on the Wright Brothers and the path to the first flight to spark interest in science and
technology among junior high school students. These films will be shown in the Japanese school systems during January, 2003.

The AIAA Wright Flyer Project welcomes a group of Raytheon engineers. They were attending a class at
Microcosm taught by Microcosm President Jim Wertz. On their break, they wanted to visit our project
on site where the 1903 Flight Replica is in construction. Marilyn Ramsey, Wright Flyer Project Team
member and Public Relations Officer, provides an overview of what we've done and where we are going.
Thanks for visiting everyone!
