On the main flightgear page there is a screen shot of our rendition of
the original 1903 Wright Flyer:

I just ran across the following image of the real thing:

After careful study, I can spot a few minor differences, but the
longer I look, the more I am impressed at how closely they match!
I think it was Jim Wilson who did the 3d model and the UIUC folks that
did the flight model. Good job to all. :-)
