What a great place. A big collection of "aeroplanes" from WW1 and pre-WW1. Most of them are originals or restored from original parts, and many of them fly. A couple photos:

Seeing these old birds in the air was wonderful.

I love watching those old airplanes.  Hard to beleive that people actually FLEW those rickety little things. They are, literally, wooden sticks, cloth and wire.

I'm leaving today for Lake Champlain. So if I get any photos of Champ the Lake Monster (America's version of "Nessie") I'll post them here before I sell them to the National Enquirer.
