Western Museum of Flight – Celebrity Lecture Series
On Saturday, August 16th, the Western Museum of Flight is hosting a Celebrity Lecture Series – The Jovial Jenny
The Curtiss Jenny had all the characteristics of the ideal trainer aircraft. It was reliable, forgiving, and easy to fly. Because of this, combined with its relative ease of construction, the Jenny became the standard trainer for US military pilots during WW I, and for many years afterward. Please join us to see a realistic, flying replica of this aviation icon, built by Rhon Williams and his team of enthusiasts from the Experimental Aircraft Association. The aircraft and its builder/pilot will be on-hand to reveal the flying characteristics of the beloved airplane that gave thousands of pilots their start in the world of aviation, as well as present the details of his 13-year complex journey building this 2/3 scale Early Bird Curtiss Jenny biplane from scratch.
