If you like Curtiss Aircraft.....................

I found this looking for a "post Macon" picture of a F9C-2 (2 were in "utility" service after the Macon went down - looking for pic(s))
I have driven past the Museum in a semi truck a few times picking up cabbage in the Geneva area, I unfortunately wasn't able to stop (the 53' trailer takes up abit of space, lol). It's hard to miss if you are coming up out of Bath on 54 - there is a 1:1 C 46 parked out front.
I assumed they had aircraft displays inside but didn't realize they built flyable replicas there! Here is video of the America Flying Boat replica and the A-1 - I was in Upstate NY when this took place and had no idea! How cool it would been to see it in person!
There are other videos there too.
Enjoy!

Flight of the Curtiss America (3 min 59 sec)


Glenn Curtiss Triad A-1 Seaplane replica take off (0 min 26 sec)
