I know that most of you are looking for live birds, but just wanted to post a bit of history and also a bit of history that is still in operation and still flyable. I took these photos at the Pioneer Flight Museum's Spring Fly-in and must admit that it's a real treat to be able to see a part of history soaring through the air and especially one that is this old. Thanks so much to the men and women at Pioneer Flight Museum who keep her running an make it all possible. She's a beautiful bird indeed.

Curtiss Canuck JN-4 # C.308
The JN-4 (Can) Canuck was a Canadian modification of the Curtiss JN-3 trainer, developed to meet Royal Flying Corps specifications. It was the first aircraft to go into mass production in Canada; about 1 210 were built by Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd in Toronto. Large numbers were used for military training both in Canada and the United States. Many were subsequently sold as war surplus. Because of its availability and low price, the JN-4 (Can) was the preferred mount of many barnstormers in the decade after the war. ( Taken from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum)
