Tapocketa-pocketa-pocketa

Something you don't see every day:

A 1919 Curtiss Jenny.

I was told that his final destination was an airport that was 110nm away. There were two hours of daylight left, he had a 15kt headwind, so he was going to spend the night at an airport in between. Even in no-wind conditions, his destination was a two-hour flight, as Jennies cruise at about 55kts.

Maybe he could draft on a Peterbilt...

Dang, you'd be better off driving than flying a 1919 Curtiss Jenny.

Of course, back in 1919, most roads outside of cities were dirt and gravel with an effective top speed of maybe 25mph, so a Jenny would have been quite competitive then.

Turns out it's a replica. It was first licensed two years ago.
