I think that in the flight they're commemorating, Orville soared for 12 minutes or so in a strong wind and essentially remained motionless over the take-off spot, like a modern day paraglider pilot, briefly before they get blown over the back. Or a 70's hang glider pilot in 25 knots at the beach.
Lets wait a few months and commemorate the first flights at the Wasserkuppe which were really the start of gliding as a sport.
