Wright B Flyer "White Bird"

In 1910, the Wright brothers built America’s first airplane factory in Dayton, Ohio where its workers were the first in America hired and trained to manufacture airplanes.  Their first product—the Wright Model B—marked the birth of America’s aviation industry.

For a generation, Wright “B” Flyer, Inc. has celebrated that heritage and inspired future aviation professionals by flying and displaying a Wright Model B lookalike called the “Brown Bird”.  But with the rise of invitations to display and fly the airplane at international venues together with the aging of Brown Bird, it became clear a new airplane was needed.

Approximately 20 years ago an individual with a passion for aviation heritage generously donated funds that allowed the process to begin, and the design and construction of a new Wright “B” Flyer lookalike - nicknamed “White Bird” - was underway.

This two decade effort has been a success, and culminates with the PUBLIC DEBUT of White Bird at the 2023 CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger!
