Almost a century of commercial passenger air service!

7 days left.

 

Kermit Weeks built a reproduction Benoist, finished it yesterday.  Now the FAA has to certify it, and he has to get it to St. Petersburg - fortunately not far down the highway from Polk City.

 

I hope he will be able to fly it 100 years to the day of the original flight, but weather and bureaucracy may complicate things.

You haven't put all that free thinking and engineering degrees to good use yet, so get your ass in gear, put the internet down and start inventing.

There have been flying cars for decades, just no practical market for them.
