Wright Brothers Lookalike Aircraft Selected for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026
July 7, 2026 Kim Stevens International News, Wisconsin

Wright “B” Flyer, Inc. is one of three vintage aircraft organizations nationwide selected for funded participation at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026, scheduled for July 20–26 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The organization will exhibit its aircraft, the White Bird, a modern lookalike of the Wright brothers’ first production airplane, as part of the national America 250 commemoration. The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will support its participation at the event.

Wright “B” Flyer, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Miamisburg, Ohio, and operated entirely by volunteers, maintains a fleet of flying and non-flying aircraft modeled after the Wright Model B, first produced in 1910. Through flight demonstrations and public engagement, the organization provides a living interpretation of early aviation history.

The White Bird is a full-scale, flyable lookalike aircraft designed to demonstrate early powered flight in motion.

The selection follows restoration work supported in part by the National Aviation Heritage Area (NAHA). A $75,000 grant funded a new engine and materials needed to return the aircraft to flight after a mechanical setback.

“The White Bird celebrates the Dayton story and the birth of aviation. It is fitting that EAA selected it as one of three aircraft selected to commemorate our nation’s 250th anniversary.” said Mackensie Wittmer, executive director of the National Aviation Heritage Area. “I am honored that NAHA partnered with Wright “B” Flyer, Inc. to get the aircraft ready for this summer’s celebrations.”

“We’re honored to fly at Oshkosh this year and appreciate the support from EAA and the National Aviation Heritage Area,” said Don Adams, president of Wright “B” Flyer, Inc. “As an all-volunteer organization, we continue to seek additional support, but we’ll be there, ready to fly and share the Wright brothers’ legacy with new audiences.”

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh attracts more than 700,000 visitors annually and features more than 10,000 aircraft, making it the world’s largest gathering of aviation enthusiasts.

The Fourth of July was a very busy day for the Wright B flyer. We did a flyover of the Americana festival in Centerville and also we’re in the Fairborn parade with a half scale.

We had a special opportunity recently. Local TV, WDTN, was out as we were able to fly a 101 year old WW II veteran in the White Bird. It was our honor to be able to do this!

The White Bird was static display at the Dayton Airshow June 13-14. We flew there up and back from our home at the Dayton Wright Brothers Airport in Miamisburg. Great reception from the crowds on Saturday. Weather created some issues for us on Sunday.
