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.

Foster homes needed for dogs at Montgomery County Animal Resource Center
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Montgomery County Animal Resource Center (ARC) is asking for community members to open their hearts and homes to dogs in need. June is Foster Pet Month. Fostering is a short-term commitment that has a lifelong impact on an animal. The ARC takes care of hundreds of dogs annually – some for medical recovery, shelter breaks. Clark County Dog Shelter full; pleading for adoptions Fostering helps the shelter by reducing overcrowding and giving vital insight into a dog's personality in a home setting. 'When you foster, you're giving an animal their best chance at a forever home,' said Amy Bohardt, Director of the Animal Resource Center. 'Fosters are the bridge between homelessness and hope. We're so grateful for every person who steps up to make a difference.' When a person decides to foster, they are provided with all essential supplies, including food, leashes, creates and medical supplies (if needed). They can chose a dog and timeframe which best fits their life-style. Shamrock shakes raise $28k for Dayton Ronald McDonald House 'I have had the privilege of opening my home to dogs of all different breeds, ages and backgrounds since becoming a foster for ARC,' said foster caregiver Samantha Baudendistel. 'It brings me so much joy to know that I got to play a part in each dog's story. And through each dog, I have also played a part in the story of each family who has adopted them, and all it took was a little bit of patience and a whole lot of love.'
