> a native Ohioan I am obliged to view Ohio as the one who deserves it because 99% of the work was done in Ohio.

That's just flat out wrong. The Wright Brothers travelled to (and lived in) Kill Devil Hills for 3 years. The first controlled three axis flights, both powered and unpowered happened at that place. Without the strong, steady winds on that beach the invention of flight would have looked very different indeed.

I will not downplay the role of the work they did in Ohio but trying to claim that it deserves the "first in flight" badge is a very tough argument to make.
