| RobertStaib Bloomsburg, PA | Jamie, There are many still flying Jenny's. There is one in a airshow at Rhinebeck Aerodrome NY, and one that will be flying at the Grimes field in Bethal PA. 09/26/2008 @ 14:18 [ref: 22750] |
| JAMIE MARTIN harbor springs, MI | The WAAAM (Western Air and Automib ile Museum- or close to that)museum in Hood River. OR opened 2 years ago and has what they say is the only flying Jenny. I saw the Jenny in the Denver airport last week while returning from Hood River. This museum should be listed on this site. Jamie 08/03/2008 @ 07:36 [ref: 22339] |
| Michael Johnson Virginia Beach, VA | My Grandfather passed away in 1958 so I never talked to him. But, he was a airplane mechanic for the Prinston flying club in NJ. I have several photos of crashed jennys the hangers as well as a aerial photo of the prinston/georgetown football game dated 1917 (I belive the date is correct) it's been a while since I looked at the pictures. The one photo I have is of his plane it happens to be a tri-wing or 3-wing jenny. I know there isn't any known to be made but I do have a photo of it! I think he adapted a third wing. 12/10/2007 @ 23:48 [ref: 18872] |
| guy mazzarella freehold, NJ | I am building an indoor slow fly kit of the Curtis Jenny JN4D sold by Horizon Hobby and need a detailed picture to determine where the cables should go on the wings,so that I can make it more realistic. 06/05/2007 @ 12:45 [ref: 16747] |
| John , MT | Hi; I recently aquired an old wheel from what I suspect to be from a 1910's airplane. It looks like those on the Jenny. Does anyone know what size rim/tire the Jenny took? The one I have looks to be about 16-17 inch diameter. It has a Goodrich Silvertown 24 x 4 (Airplane)tire with no tread.No longer usable except perhaps display. Value anyone?

| Marshall Colorado Springs, CO | There is also a JN4D on display at the Denver International Airport in the B concourse (In front of the shops near gate B52). It was restored by the Antique Airplane Association of Colorado. You have to look up, most people miss it. 09/28/2006 @ 10:32 [ref: 14314] |

| Gene Jensen , WI | I have a complete set of blueprints for a JN4D that a friend gave me. He found them in the attic of a home he bought. The dates include: 1)drawn by, 2)traced by 3)aproved by, etc., and they run from 1915 through 1918.I'm planning to use a few of them for matted pictures in my study. How do you tell if they are real?
