Dedicated on November 8, 2003, Monument to a Century of Flight celebrated the soaring of the human spirit as an enduring legacy presented by Icarus International, Inc., with work by artists Glen Eure, Hanna Jubran, and Jodi Hollnagel Jubran and architect Benjamin B. Cahoon. It also featured John G. Magee, Jr.'s poem "High Flight," written in late 1941 while he was a 19-year-old American serving with the Royal Canadien Air Force in Britain, before he was killed that December in his Spitfire over England. Nearby, a time capsule was placed for the people of 2103 by the First Flight Club of Rotary International under the sponsorship of the Bank of Currituck honoring their President and CEO, Sam T. "Tommy" Moore, Jr., with instructions to open it in December of 2103.
