Well, I love all flying things, and the Vimy is impressive... But as
far as re-creating an old technology machine and then flying a route that was done generations ago - - - YAWN ! Although I enjoyed watching the Vimy fly at OSH, in this case I was thinking the same thing. I don't understand doing a flight that was done over 8 decades ago. I mean, why risk your life -- and considerable money -- to re-do what has already been done? It's not like it's a "first," and it's not like there's any glory in completing (or failing to complete) the flight. I'd much rather these guys put their money into re-creating another National Air Tour -- where millions of common aviation buffs were given the opportunity to see these grand old aircraft fly again. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
