The Valentine Flyer - AKA "The Yellow Bird" is hanging next to the Wright B Flyer Hangar. It is a movie star that was originally built by Tom & Karen Valentine and used in a movie "The Wings of Kitty Hawk." it serves as a display model of what a real 1911 Wright "B" Flyer looked like. It does differ in some details from an original (different engine, aircraft quality turn buckles VS piano wire) but it does serve to help people understand details like wing warping. In the Summer of 2008 they took it to Farnborough and exhibited it with three other historic aircraft.
