The Outer Banks are the birthplace of
all forms of aviation, from the famous Wright Brothers’ flight to the Rogallos’
flexible wing invention. Located within Jockey’s Ridge State Park, this museum
uses the experience and thrill of flying as the catalyst for showcasing the
history, development, and adventure of low-speed flight. A soaring canopy
welcomes and draws in visitors, launching a gradually ascending, immersive
journey past exhibits celebrating the Rogallos’ creations and other aerodonetic
developments. The ramp experience culminates in an expansive overlook
connecting visitors to the park’s unique natural setting and the gliders taking
flight on the dunes beyond.
