The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
We frequently get to see World War II warbirds fly at various air shows. But rarely do you get to watch a World War One aircraft in flying condition operate.
Today at Kickapoo airport in Wichita Falls, I got to watch a Curtis Jenny in action. Well taken care of and wonderful to watch fly. The honored passenger was Air Force Colonel Lance Bunch, commander of the training wing at Sheppard AFB. This guy is used to F15s and T38s and supersonic flight and now had to tangle with something that doesn't get much above 80MPH. But he must have liked it and had a massive grin on his face when he landed.
I'll have photos posted once I download them. I also shot some video.
It was a great day to be out aviating and a treat to see a well preserved piece of flying history.
