Kinda O/T - Wright Brothers reinactment Saturday AM Chicago

Just like the '00s, Bro! In tribute to the Kitty Hawk centennial, a couple of guys from Glen Ellyn (home base of HotRodJosh & Gregg) have built a replica of the Wright Bros plane using vintage tools and construction techniques. They will be flying the plane 9AM tomorrow morning on the grounds of the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. Here's info...

Mike is this the same "flyer" that was featured on the History channel the other night?

The attention to detail was mind boggling!

If the Wright Brothers could only see what they started!!

Dave - I didn't see that episode so I don't know if it was the same replica plane. I also saw that Microsoft is releasing a special Wright Brothers version of MS Flight Simulator!

Wish I could go see it. Actually my girlfriends dad donated all the bike parts used on the reproduction. I saw the plane in the Forth of July parade this year. It looks pretty cool...
