Jeff Stands from Wright B Flyer Inc. of Dayton, Ohio, will explore a brief history of Wilbur and Orville Wright’s development of the airplane, while comparing their organization’s similar journey through the design, build, test, and operation of their latest 1911 Model B look-alike flyer, N1217B. Complete with actual video, audio, and analysis from flight testing, see how this nonprofit organization promoting early aviation history overcame several key challenges testing their scratchbuilt experimental 1911 Model B Flyer. Jeff serves as one of the pilots for the organization’s flyer, which is on display in the Vintage area all week and flying in Tuesday and Thursday’s air show.
