MIT News 11/17/2003: “A replica of the Wright brother’s biplane “Flyer” was erected on top of the Great Dome at MIT by student hackers, in honor of the 100th anniversary of human, powered flight.”

“The model will be dismantled Thursday morning by Barber and Cunha, the Institute’s hack evaluation and removal team, if the surface is dry and the weather is calm.”
