The Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammonsport, NY built a replica of the 1910 Hudson Flier (aka Albany Flier). Although not well known today, the plane is quite significant in aviation history. It held the record for long distance flight by flying 150 miles from Albany to New York City in May of 1910 to win a prize put up by Joseph Pulitzer. (The Wrights declined to attempted the flight.) It was also the first plane to take off from a ship, thus marking the start of Naval aviation.
