That's okay, they would have used aircrew from Maine, then it's not a problem where they land, if at all !!!! :lol: :wink:

Is #3 still unguessed? What I suppose I'm the only one who has nothing better to do on a Saturday night. Anyone know why I can no longer see the pictures? They were there earlier today. Good thing I printed them out.

I thought this looked more like a Wright than a Curtiss. Is that Herbster, Rodgers, and Wiegand standing in front of a Wright B-1?

Well according to my research pieces it's probably Cal Rodgers with a Wright Model B witch he redesignated "EX".
