We\u2019re sorry about not posting for a bit. We\u2019ve been rolling out a new website that is a vast improvement over our old one. We were going to move the blog of there eventually, but that\u2019s taking longer than we thought, and you guys deserve an update, so here we go!
\nWe had a meeting yesterday on where were are relative to getting our Benoist reproduction ready for the 100th Anniversary flight on January 1, 2014.<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking and we\u2019re beginning to feel we\u2019re a bit behind the power curve.<\/p>\n

\"A-Benoist-Progress\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve mobilized everyone in the Aircraft Department to begin making this our PRIMARY focus, as we\u2019ve still got a lot of work to do. Anslo, our built from scratch Roberts engine has also become the top priority at the shop where its being constructed.
\nWe got some sad news from our friends that built a \u201cLark of Duluth\u201d replica. This was the airplane that eventually became our Tony Jannus airplane and flew during a Duluth, MN Festival during the summer of 1913.<\/p>\n

\"B-Benoist-Progress\"<\/p>\n

They missed flying their airplane for their 100th Anniversary event but finally got a chance to fly it last week . . . for about ten seconds<\/a>!<\/p>\n

It seems the pressure is on both our Fantasy of Flight CREW as builders . . . and on KERMIT as a pilot!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
