Ohio's new license plate failed to take off after the illustration of a banner in flight was attached to the wrong end of the Wright Brothers' first plane, the Wright Flyer. The new plate's banner reads "Birthplace of Aviation" but the banner should have been trailing behind the plane, not attached to the front.

Some 35,000 new license plates were printed before the error was discovered.
State officials acknowledged the error immediately after the new plates were unveiled on Thursday, releasing a photo of the corrected plate.
"We will recycle the 35,000 plates that had been printed. It is too early to know about if there will be any additional cost," said Lindsey Bohrer, assistant director of communications with the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
