I can see it's at the end of some runway, but why the tank tracks?

What happened to the high level of restroom cleanliness as the high priority? Former First lady Eleanor Roosevelt once toured the US inspecting them, and that is quite a feat of publicity!

When they tell you "it'll never fly" don't listen to them...

What you create may not be the F22 Raptor, but it may be the first step in the "Wright" direction

Weekly dose of trains is over... no one posts trains on Pixdaus anymore... but cool airplanes seem to be the new thing

John A McCurdy, Silver Dart, 1909, Nova Scotia

Imagine that you are in 1909, and taking this out for its maiden voyage... hoping all the nuts and bolts are tight, and that nothing was forgotten in the final assembly.

It was flown off the ice of Baddeck Bay Nova Scotia, on 23 February 1909, making it the first controlled powered flight in Canada.

The aircraft was piloted by one of its designers, John McCurdy, and built by the Aerial Experiment Association, formed under the guidance of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.

Love art deco, obscure streamliners from 1930's, tanks, planes, and trains? Great website to recommend! Dieselpunks
