The Aviation Exhibits on display at the Havelock Tourist & Event Center convey the grandeur of the aircraft our Marines and fellow military aviators have flown and still fly today. Visitors to the exhibits also learn the timeline of flight in eastern North Carolina and those particular models of aircraft our region has repaired, modified, even helped design.

History
Report
One hundred years ago, Orville and Wilbur Wright took turns guiding their wood and fabric Flyer over the dunes of Kitty Hawk, N.C. Just over five years later, the Navy had made up its mind to acquire flying machines. Unfortunately, the then-Secretary of the Navy stated, "The department does not consider that the development of the aeroplane has progressed sufficiently at this time for use in the Navy."
