I don't believe any of them would do it if they were president today.

I don't know about everyone on that list, but Franklin Roosevelt was the
first president to fly in an airplane while in office, and his cousin Teddy
had flown in the Wright Flyer way back in 1910 after leaving office. Both
were correspondents with one or both of the Wright Brothers. I'm guessing
FDR would've found his way to Kill Devil.
