Yes, that is pretty amazing, a 90 year old airplane. Won't find a rarer one out there. I saw a show on the History Channel about a place that still has an airworthy one. Pretty neat, you have 2 power settings, full or off!! Doubt you'd be able to get hull insurance on that one though, so you wouldn't want to let her get away on takeoff

Wonderful aircraft - Hope it survives its new owner. Should go to a museum, but then it should fly too. What a dilemna - fly or preserve? If its the ONLY one...but what a hoot to fly it! Wonder if the guns work...

You would want to have a good look at it first to be sure that the nipples have been greased

That's the funniest one liner I've heard all day.
