It’s an alternate storyline, the year is 1936, June 23rd, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Since the Wright Brothers' historic flight, Kitty Hawk has become a symbol of aviation, and today is Aviation Day—a new holiday celebrating flight. The quiet coastal town is alive with activity as aircraft of all kinds gather for the event. The grassy airfield, bordered by the Atlantic, is bustling with spectators eager to witness these flying machines.

Monoplanes, biplanes, and a few early helicopters buzz through the sky. Tents line the field, offering food and souvenirs, while flags wave in the ocean breeze. Children dart between aircraft, their eyes wide with excitement, as their parents marvel at the wonders of modern aviation.

In the center of it all stands a large, gleaming autogyro—its sleek metal body and rotor blades making it the star attraction. The sturdy frame and rear propeller hint at both power and innovation. Beside it, Amelia Aeris, one of the first female pilots in the U.S., proudly calls out to the crowd in her Southern drawl:

"Autogyro ride! Five dollars for a thirty-minute flight!"

Though a crowd gathers, no one is ready to pay for a ride just yet, but everyone is eager to see the autogyro in action. Amelia, dressed in a leather flight jacket with goggles on her head, chats with onlookers, her excitement matching the energy of the day. The scent of oil and gasoline mixes with the salty ocean air as the sun gleams off the autogyro, setting the stage for a day of aviation history.
