Wright "B" Flyer Inc.

Pilots Hank Griffiths and Tony Bonser about to prepare for a flight over Centerville’s Americana Festival Parade, providing a Wright Brothers tribute to America’s 250th Birthday Celebration. 

The Dayton Air Show 2026 was made even more special thanks to the outstanding support and participation of the Wright ‘B’ Flyer, Inc..

Visitors had the unique opportunity to experience the rich legacy of aviation pioneered by Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright through the organization’s educational exhibits and dedication to preserving the Wright brothers’ remarkable achievements.

A highlight of the event was the appearance of the White Bird, featuring talented Wright Brothers look-alikes who brought history to life. Their engaging presentations, period attire, and passion for aviation heritage allowed attendees to step back in time and gain a deeper appreciation for the vision, determination, and innovation that changed the world forever.

Thank you to the Wright ‘B’ Flyer team, volunteers, and the White Bird cast for helping make the Dayton Air Show 2026 a memorable and inspiring experience for all!

The Wright ‘B’ Flyer group’s commitment to education and community outreach continues to inspire new generations of aviators, engineers, and history enthusiasts. Their contribution to the Dayton Air Show helped showcase why Dayton remains proudly known as the Birthplace of Aviation.

Keeping the Wright Brothers’ dream alive—one flight, one story, and one generation at a time.
