Back in December Einar told me he had purchased an antique altimeter from a Curtiss Jenny. He kindly loaned it to me for a few days, and I posed it with the radio controlled Jenny kit I have been building for the past several years. It was incredible to hold it and think of the things it had seen, and the men and women who had sat behind it....
A few weeks later Einar got together with me and said "Steve, we're going to build a Jenny." I said Yup, it's downstairs in my shop.
Einar said No, I've purchased Jenny serial number 2918 from Ken Hyde, we've got 5 years get her flying in time for her 100th birthday, and you're going to fly it.
Holy shit.....
