No argument there. I only have two points:

1. Everything but the 1st successful sustained flight took place in
Dayton.
2. Having the 1st flight take place in NC doesn't say much about NC
other than the outer banks have some good wind and friend people.

Fair enough.

Using the same logic, perhaps Louisiana should back away from its license plate claim of being a "sportsman's paradise." After all, the whole state is heavily biased toward hunting and fishing, and then only to species indigenous to that particular region.

Maybe all states need to adopt license plates that are as bland as Oklahoma's "Oklahoma is OK" lest they overstate their claim.
