The Museum’s long-term plan has been to return its reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer on display. Damaged several years ago, the Flyer was taken to Gillespie Field where restoration commenced and quickly ended with the onset of the pandemic. Work recently began anew and will continue at the Museum’s Gillespie site. The Museum anticipates completion in February 2024, where it will be hung in the rotunda of the main site in Balboa Park.
