Ohio's new license plate design passed through a lot of approvals and reviews, but no one was smart enough to know the critical fact about the very aircraft they were purporting to be proud of as a state, that the design of the Wright Brothers craft LOOKS opposite modern planes, and the banner on their license plate isn't trailing the aircraft

 

Just exactly uneducated, but proud, can the bureaucrats be, when they know nothing of the Wright Brothers aircraft design? 

(Bragging moment, I found out when working through my family tree, that I'm distantly related to the Wright family )

The mistake has also reignited one of America's longest running debates: Who can claim credit for the Wright brothers' first flight?

Ohio and North Carolina have long been at odds over which state gets to lay claim on the brothers' achievement. Ohio claims that, as the pair originally hailed from the state and the plane they completed their 39-second flight in was built in Dayton, it should get the credit

But the flight itself actually took place at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, And the North Carolinian newspaper, the Charlotte Observer, joked: "Let's talk about which state Kitty Hawk is in."

for historical accuracy, Ohio is fraudulently self promoting a lie. The wright Brothers were years behind the accomplishments of Gustave Whitehead in Ct, who accomplished flight 2 years prior, but didn't have friends in high places, and a deal worked out with the Smithsonian. Frankly, they were geniuses at self promotion too.
