As the holidays approach, the countdown to our New Year’s Day flight recreating the first commercial airline flight on 1/1/1914 is becoming almost audible. The entire Aircraft Department at Fantasy of Flight is working hard on making sure we have an accurate AND airworthy craft! The engine continues testing up in Ohio, the last coats of dope are covering the fabric on the wings and control surfaces, and soon it will be time to rig it up and test fly it!
If you would like to see details of the building process, Kermit is producing near-daily updates on his Facebook page so you can follow along.
So will you be joining us for this historic flight from St. Petersburg, FL to Tampa, FL?!
