    Recent road trip thru upstate NY and managed a stop here. Absolutely captivating collection of aircraft, engines, boats and motorcycles. Worth the detour.

    I haven't made it there yet, but I will. It's not that far from Watkins Glen.

    Yes, knew that...

    But bikes built 100 years after Curtiss was born??? Strange.

    Someone wanted a tax write-off... and wanted to get the bikes out of the garage. And the museum needs 'stuff'. :)

    I'll try to get up there next summer. Looks great.

    I also noticed the wrong spinner on the P-40 (FIL flew them in China).
