Wright
"B" Flyer Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit
corporation that promotes the Dayton Region's aviation
heritage by flying and displaying lookalikes of America's
first production airplane, the Wright Model "B" Flyer.
It 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 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.
The organization 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 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 for a nominal donation.
(Disclosure: The publisher of AviationDayton.com is a Wright “B” Flyer trustee.)
