Wright Flyer III is now Ohio's official state airplane
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — The historic 1905 Wright Flyer III is being recognized on the state level with a new designation. Gov. Mike DeWine visited Carillon Park in Dayton Friday to sign off on Senate Bill 24, which designates the Wright Flyer as Ohio's official state airplane. The bill was sponsored by state senators Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) and Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City). High flying acts announced for 2025 Dayton Air Show The Wright Flyer III was first flown by Orville Wright on June 23, 1905. This plane is significant since it was flown in Dayton — having been tested at Huffman Prairie near Fairborn. 'The 1905 Wright Flyer III is a prime example of why Ohio is considered the heart of innovation,' said DeWine. 'Making the Wright Flyer III the official state airplane is a great way to honor Ohio's aviation heritage.' The ceremonial signing took place at the John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum, where the original Wright Flyer is on display. DeWine says only 20 percent of the plane has been restored, with 80 percent still being the original materials crafted by the Wright Brothers themselves. 'It's a wonderful thing to to come out here and to see it,' said DeWine. 'These two guys from Dayton, Ohio, who had a bicycle/print shop and decided that, they got inspired, that they wanted to fly and they figured it out.' The John W. Berry Sr. Wright Brothers National Museum is open daily at Carillon Park. Click here to learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Add the bacon and sauté until lightly browned. Next add the sausage and continue cooking until it begins to brown. Next add the bell peppers and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned, and the vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes. Add all the beans, barbecue sauce, honey, andouille sausage and smoked garlic seasoning. Allow to come to a nice simmer and cook an additional 5 minutes stirring frequently enough so they do not stick to the pan. Add the serrano peppers and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over high heat add the rest of the olive oil and the onions. Sauté rapidly over the high heat until the onions begin to brown and caramelize. At this point Remove the skillet from the heat and add in the whiskey. Ignite with a long lighter. You want to ignite the fumes and not the liquid. Gently shake the pan until the blue flame has extinguished itself. Add the onions to the pot of beans and combine. (Optionally you can then transfer to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees for 30 minutes.) Remove from oven and enjoy SERVES 8-10 Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
