Highest Time in Make and Model???

Here he is, Mark Duesenberry. We watched him fly tonight. This is in preparation for a "big" show in Dayton next month at Huffman Prairie, where the Wright Bros practiced.

This is an exact replica of a 1905 Flier, including the engine. Mark built the entire engine, except for piston rings, and maybe the valves and springs.

...and no shoes or seat belt. He is just like a kid going down a hill on a sled.
