The plane is dubbed the “silver bird” because of its silver-painted steel frame. It is designed to be easily taken apart, shipped and reassembled for flying displays across the United States and overseas.
The organization’s older replica, known as the “brown bird” for its appearance, will still be flown at local events.
Both aircraft are on display at Wright “B” Flyer Inc.’s hangar, at 10550 Springboro Pike in Miami Twp. The facility is open from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, except for holidays. Admission is free.
