Weekend Fly-In: Dayton, OH (KMGY) August 25‐28, 2016
Weekend Fly-In: Dayton, OH (KMGY) August 25‐28, 2016 Watch out! SEBS will exceed the limits of our southern boundaries and invade the Midwest region! After multiple requests, we will head back to Dayton, OH, the Birthplace of Aviation! Our last visit was in 2005 and much has happened since then including the National Museum of the US Air Force opening a new fourth hangar this June! We will visit the National Museum of the US Air Force as well as four of the five National Historic Landmarks within the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park including the Wright Cycle Company building, Hoover Block, Huffman Prairie Flying Field, 1905 Wright Flyer III, and Hawthorn Hill! Since we are going out of bounds, we are also changing logistics! The most important change is that we are hiring a charter bus for transportation (no 15 passenger vans). Also, with this fly‐in being in the summer and most attendees historically arriving early to beat afternoon buildups and thunderstorms, we are planning Thursday activities which are optional. For Thursday arrivals, there will be three bus shuttles from the airport to the hotel occurring at 11:30 am, 1:00 pm, and 5:00 pm. For those of you that want to participate in the Thursday activities, you should plan to arrive in time to secure your aircraft and catch the 1:00 pm shuttle. For any early arrivals prior to Thursday, we will have a bus that will depart the hotel at 10:30 am for the airport, so that you can tour the Wright “B” Flyer hangar and museum (see below). -

DESCRIPTORS *Aviation Education; Elementary Secondary Education; Heritage Education; *Historic Sites; Primary Sources; Social Studies; Student Educational Objectives; Technological Advancement; *United States History IDENTIFIERS Aviation; National Register of Historic Places ABSTRACT Wilbur and Orville Wright undertook the first test airplane flight on December 17,1903, at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Their success represented the culmination of four years of painstaking research and trials in which they designed and improved their flying machines at home in Dayton, Ohio, and tested them each year near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The site where the brothers launched their gliders and eventually flew a powered aircraft is preserved today as Wright Brothers National Memorial. This lesson is based on National Park Service materials and other sources related to the Wright brothers. The lesson can be used in U.S. history, social studies, and geography courses in units on technological and scientific advances at the turn of the 20th century, aviation history, or great inventors. -

(Wright Brothers Historic Aeronautical Photographs) Huffman Priaire Flying Field Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park The Cultural Landscapes Inventory Overview: CLI General Information The Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) is a database containing information on the historically signifi- cant landscapes within the National Park System. This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics as character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved inventory records when all required data fields are entered, the park superintendent concurs with the information, and the landscape is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places through a consultation process or is otherwise managed as a cultural resource through a public planning process. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures (LCS), assists the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2001), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management. -

Wilbur Wright piloted the aircraft for a fourth time for a distance of 852 feet, 59 seconds. All were straight flights with no turns. The brothers did not make a fifth effort because the stiff winds of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, caught the craft unguarded, flipping and damaging the machine.
