Huffman Prairie Flying field, a national historic landmark, is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Greene County. This 84-acre pasture is where Wilbur and Orville Wright undertook the difficult and dangerous task of creating a dependable, fully controllable airplane and training themselves to be pilots. The field looks just as it did when the Wright Brothers flew here.
