A former Mayor of Charlotte, in an interview on the history of North Carolina's largest city, was reported to have said, when asked how the site for the airport was chosen:
"Because that's where the planes landed."

... wonder how the Wright Brothers
made their decision on where to land???

I don't think they where given a choice!
So, you don't think they had any optionality?
From reading a recent book on the Wright Brothers their primary concern was not where to land but to do it in one piece.
Then perhaps they should have invented the parachute first?
One of the inventions by the Wright brothers was the reclining chair. See... taking off was easy, it was the landing... bump, ouch, owww....
