I photographed the Wright Flyer when my son and I were visiting the Smithsonian. We also have seen replica Wright Flyers at several other locations, including the Oshkosh, South Carolina, California, Dayton, Florida, Texas, Museum of Flight in Seattle and the Evergreen Aviation Museum in Oregon.

The first replica in the U.S. to achieve powered flight during the centennial year of the Wright Brothers’ first flight, the biplane dubbed “The Spirit of Glen Ellyn” provides an up-close glimpse of the reality and daring of those first innovative flights.

I am trying to recall if this was a scale model or if it was the ‘The Finningley Flyer’ replica that has actually flown. I now think it is not full size (I should go back to England and check up on this LOL)
