Here's a museum I've got to see, the Glenn Curtiss ... they have bikes, motorbikes, planes, and cars... and are restoring a P 40






In 1908 he made the first public flights in the United States, and in 1909 he established the first flying school there.



the museum acquired 3 wrecked P 40s to get the parts to restore one, and two came from Florida, 2 40s mid-air crashed into each other, and then into the everglades, and one on St Simon Island in southern Georgia


Curtiss pioneered making airplanes, seaplanes, motorcycles, and camping trailers
