Wright Model A

The Wright Model A was an early aircraft produced by the Wright Brothers in the United States beginning in 1906. It was a development of their Flyer III airplane of 1905. The only original standard Model A to survive, and the sole surviving original Dayton-built example, is the one Orville Wright used to demonstrate at Tempelhof, Germany in September 1909.

Built by Keith Hayden and his son Eric, the Wright Flyer Model A is a flying replica of the first aircraft to fly in Australia. First taking to the air in 2005, it flew until 2013, when insurance costs stopped it flying. It is now housed at the Narromine Aviation Museum.
