Wright 1908 Model A Reproduction runs at Fort Myer!
First Public Start of the Wright Model A, September 6, 2008 at Conmy Hall, Fort Myer, Virginia
Our reproduction Fort Myer Flyer was the centerpiece of the Centennial of Military Aviation Celebration at Fort Myer, Virginia, September 6, 2008. Despite trpoical srotm Hanna raging overhead, the engine was run inside Conmy Hall before an audience including Congressman Jim Moran, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army General Peter W. Chiarelli, General Richard Rowe, Commander, Military District of Washington; Colonel Laura Richardson, Commander, Fort Myer, and a crowd that leapt to its feet the moment the engine ran!
The Crowd hears the 1908 Wright Model A for the first time in 100 years.
We will be posting a complete update on a most successful event! Please check back soon!
