Wright
"B" Flyer Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit
corporation. Wright "B" Flyer inc. promotes the Dayton
Region's aviation heritage by flying and displaying
lookalikes of the Wright brothers' first production
airplane, the Wright Model "B" Flyer.
Wright "B" Flyer has been flying its one-of-a-kind
lookalike of a 1911 Wright Model B Flyer since 1983. In
cooperation with the National Park Service and the U.S. Air
Force, it also displays a non-flying Wright "B" Flyer
replica on the Huffman Prairie Flying
Field during summer months.
In 2008,
volunteers designed and began construction of a new,
flyable Wright Model B lookalike designed to fit into a
standard cargo container for deployment to aviation events
around the world.
Wright "B" Flyer's aircraft have been flown or displayed
around the United States, in Berlin, and at the Farnborough
International Air Show in England.
Wright "B" Flyer Inc. houses its flyers in a hangar-museum on Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport.
Various membership levels are available; some include a free orientation flight on a Wright “B” Flyer lookalike.
The Wright "B" Flyer hangar/museum is open to the public, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Other times are available by appointment. Memorabilia and souvenirs are available in the gift shop.
(Disclosure: The publisher of AviationDayton.com is a Wright “B” Flyer trustee.)
