What, holiday pictures..!?

What is this? This site is supposed to be about the Simonini Victor 2 experience and now… pictures from Fred’s holiday!?! We spent 2 weeks in New York this summer and took the opportunity to drive down to Washington for 2 days. Yes, The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Both sites, in the city and out at the airport. It was amazing and I just cannot resist sharing a few highlights from the history and progression of flight with you…


A 1894 glider from Otto Lilienthal’s workshop 
The real Wright Brothers Flyer that they flew with 1903
(the fabric covering has, obviously, been replaced)

The Spirit of St Louis...
Amelia's Vega...
The most beautiful and mythic of all passenger planes, the DC3…
Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1...
Flying cars straight out of someone’s dream
All the way through the space age with the Mercury and Apollo programs to...
Discovery who just returned from the last flight...

And I could go on until I run out of space on the server…
