One Of The Aviation World's Iconic Designs Makes A Comeback

100 years... that's a fair piece of time when you look at any technology, these days, much less anything that flies. Thats said, a flyable replica Wright B Flyer is making the rounds of Oshkosh and threatening to, again, enjoy some air beneath its wings in celebration of the century milestone.

The original Wright "B" Flyer was constructed to honor the accomplishments of the Wright Brothers and promote Dayton, Ohio as the "Leader in Flight." The original Wright B Flyer was designed to provide pilot training and reconnaissance for the US Army Signal Corps from 1911 to 1914.
