Brian Karli's Curtiss JN-4H flew for the first time yesterday, Novermber 29th 2013 and how beautiful she looked (and sounded.)


The Jenny was constructed in and around Brian's home near Atlanta, Georgia and is powered by a 200 HP Hispano Suiza engine. Pretty much the same engine you would have found in an SE5a of the Royal Flying Corp over the trenches of Ypres or the Somme in the summer of 1918.

Ron Alexander, and a host of local volunteers worked with Brian over a period of 7 1/2 years to go from this motley collection of parts:



To this most beautiful treasure:



You can see much more about the project, and listen to the sweet Hisso music on Bian's blog here:
