Major White Bird Activities for 2025

While the White Bird is being refitted with a redesigned drive system, our plans for 2025 activities have been reduced to accommodate the delay in flying operations. Below is a brief summary of what we have scheduled to date:

• Dayton Airshow – We will have the Valentine Flyer Replica on static display with pilots and docents to meet and greet the public. Watch how wing-warping actually works!
• Centerville Americana Parade- Our half-scale Wright “B” Flyer float will be there, so make sure to wave as we drive past!
• Kettering Holiday at Home Parade- Half scale and Model T planned – watch for us!
• USAF Marathon – Half-scale on display to the runners.
• Hops and Props- Watch this space for updates on this event, especially for thirsty adults!

Hangar rentals can be booked for special celebrations, like milestone birthday parties, weddings, etc. It is a unique and interesting venue! And displays of our half-scale are available to the public for your special event. Please contact us for scheduling at [email protected] or call 937-885-2327.
