OHIO gets a new license plate.......ooops

[Stig / Major Tom]

Honest mistake I guess - unless you're from Ohio.

35,000 of 'em run off before the mistake was noticed.
see it?

Me neither Karl so I don't either.  A guess, are there no skyscrapers in Ohio?
PS I'm sure Stig will put us out of our misery!

Got it!  The Wright Brothers made their first flight on December 17, 1903, 4 mi (6 km) south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Aside from if every plate was printed with OHIO as the plate number instead of being unique...
Looks like the pilot is sitting in the small picture of the flyer on the plate vs laying prone on the original flyer that was made and flown.

[Neil955i]

Looks like the twin small wing things ought to be at the front of the plane whereas on the plate they're on the rear?

That depend on what direction you think that plane is flying on the plate. It just may be headed to the right. I can just barely make out the pilot, seated, and facing to the right so that would make the smaller wings in front just like the actual plane.

Take your point Bob, but surely the pictures drawn to look as though the plane is towing the "birthplace of aviation" banner?

I guess I can see that also.

Maybe it's PUSHING the banner. 

[Stig / Major Tom]

Yep. They also developed rope pushing as a sport.

yes....their Wright Flyer is depicted flying backwards.

Pitch planes (pitch control surfaces) in the Wright Flyer are pointy-ended and on the tag they are rounded.

Do I get the prize?

Yes, the image on the plate shows the plane flying backwards. Sorry.... You guys took too long.
I ate the prize with my coffee.
