Over Bethel, PA on Saturday

We were stuck in Grove City, PA all yesterday afternoon because of wind, but about 7 o'clock this showed up

He was really rocking and rolling on short final, I think it was about 10G16 at the time.

In Grove City now, waiting for the sun to rise so we can get going again, to Alliance, OH, Medina, Norwalk, Toledo, then to Willow Run so we can leave it there for Thunder Over Michigan in July. Hopefully we will make it tonight or tomorrow morning, wind and weather permitting.

Great set of pictures. Nice variety. That little Pusher sure gets around!

Great photos! I love the one with the Hupmobile.

The web site should be updated soon, http://elycurtisspusher.com/ , and you can follow the journeys from the SPOT link there, and also on Facebook, Ely-Curtiss Pusher.

Weather forecast for the next few days wasn't good, too much wind, so we left her at Akron and will return next week to finish the trip-

Great pics but that Curtiss looks like a motorized box kite. not so sure I would fly it. then again,I dont hang glide either

The Pusher looks like fun.
I wouldn't mind one...(perhaps with a modern engine and a more modern fuselage structure). Rather like the Wright Flyer replica that flies out of Dayton.
It would go well with my Stutz Bearcat replica.
And no, I don't want a Breezy or Aircam.

Sorry for the poor (cellphone) photo, but here is the Curtiss in the old Goodyear Corsair assembly building





and here's a shot in the same building in WW2
