If you have retail experience, the Wright B Museum needs your help as a volunteer. We have an aggressive event schedule for this year and expect many visitors. The entry way to the Museum includes a reception area and a gift shop that requires staffing. Have lots of fun meeting people and watching the events and activities at the Museum.
Based on current FAA qualification testing successes, the newest Wright B Flyer replica could be coming to an event near you later this summer.
Our build teams have been working hard through FAA checklists and wind-over-wing studies to ready the White Bird replica flyer for the 2024 summer schedule.
Some of those upcoming events include the City of Kettering Home Days event and the Dayton Air Show.
As always, our museum/hangar remains open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm where you can tour the history of the Model B Flyer
and pick-up some cool Wright Bros Museum-branded gifts at our gift store!
OSHKOSH, Wis.—The Wright B Flyer drew steady traffic on its fifth day of static display in the Vintage Area of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA’s) AirVenture 2015 on Wittman Airport. The Dayton-based nonprofit organization has continued to sign up EAA homebuilders who want to help build parts for the next Wright B Flyer, a modern lookalike of the Wright brothers’ first factory-built airplane. Here are some photos from Friday’s display.
