1918 Curtiss JN-4H “Jenny”

1918 Curtiss JN-4H “Jenny” based at the Schellville Aerodrome at Sonoma, California is owned by Frank Schelling. It is one of only two Jennies flying today powered by a Hispano-Suiza engine. Schelling spent 32 years restoring the aircraft.

It's not often you get a chance to see a Jenny but this immaculate example showed up and flew several times. What a thrill it is to see something this rare and get to see it fly too.
