All of Bob’s restorations were a mess and had to rebuilt. From what I heard he often used non aviation parts from the local hardware store. I heard he did more harm to the vintage airframes than good.

The Flyer is going to the Henry Ford Museum when they are finished with it. I have not seen any of the press from Kitty Hawk so not sure what was said about the attempt. It has been a crazy few days.
