During a speech Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club, Rubio, a Florida senator, praised the innovation of the Wright Brothers for their first flight in 1903. But instead of pointing out they were from Dayton, Rubio described them as “two brothers from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.”

Ooops. Well, the first flight took place in Kitty Hawk. But Orville and Wilbur Wright spent almost all their years in Dayton. Better hope Ohioans forget about this before the March primary.
