This sculpture is hard to miss! It stretches along a wide median strip of Main Street in Dayton, Ohio. The undulating curves try to represent what an original flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 might have looked like.

This sculpture was inspired by Daytonians
Orville and Wilbur Wright's
first successful powered
flight on December 17, 1903.
The Wright brothers Flyover is a 150 foot long sculpture. Similar to the original Wright biplane, a double-winged shape swoops along a two-track path.
All of this resides on a wide median strip of Main Street between 4th and 5th street in Dayton, Ohio. The sculpture is 43 feet high and 24 feet wide.
