I was there yesterday. You have no idea the **** he has in his hangars. It is simply unbelievable. He had his 1909 Curtiss Pusher up in the air for about 20 mins. I'll be posting shots once life is sorted out and I can replace my computer.

He has an awesome collection there. Well worth repeat visits. You might be interested, they posted some video on the Pusher a few months. Second one is from the pilot perspective. Pretty cool.
