  • Great sound!

  • Nice !

  • Harriet Quimby was the first woman across the Channel in an aircraft. Not noticed because the Titanic grabbed the headlines. I remember being totally baffled by the accident report on her crash, apparently carrying a passenger, neither with any form of seatbelt. Negative 'G' hadn't been invented then, it seems.

  • Considering how many airplanes there were back then I suspect it is the one Harriet Quimby flew. The dates and locations seem to point this way. It's pretty sad and pretty cool at the same time. I think women had more going for them at that time than we're led to believe. I'm not sure we've really evolved that much since then.

  • It´s original?

  • I don't know how many Bleriot XIs Rhinebeck has, but rumors persist that Cole Palen may have repaired and got into flying order the actual Bleriot Harriet Quimby crashed in in 1912

  • I saw the Bleriot copy at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in New York State.They said it has an Original engine.

  • Wow. This means in 2009 it will be a 100 year old aeroplane still flying. Not bad. I bet in 2055 there will still be flying B52's ,since those were built to last.

  • They were used at the beginning of the war as observation planes actually. This particular Bleriot (BTW) was built in 1909, and is the oldest plane in the world that still flies.

  • That wasn't a fighter plane. Louis Bleriot used it to cross the English Channel
