Hello from Owls Head!

[Ian Curtis]

Hi,

My name's Ian (obviously) and I come from the small village of Owls Head, which conveniently has a fantastic Museum filled with aircraft and cars. I've been working their this past summer (in the office) and volunteering on the weekends/evenings (in the hanger and on the flightline). At the moment, I plan on building a Pietenpol Air Camper first (the powerplant is pretty easy to come by), then slowly working my way into more interesting aircraft. I like the looks of the Sopwith Triplane, the Hanriot HD.1, and the Morane-Saulnier G, but rotary engines are a wee bit outside my budget.

At the end of August I'll be heading to Troy, New York for school. What are some interesting aircraft/museums with a four hour drive or so? (Besides ORA & the Curtiss Museum)

My family and I have been to OHTM several times and enjoyed the museum and airshows. The Penobscot Bay area is a favorite locale to visit.
Use the Aerofile thread to find museums Air Museums
Good luck at RPI, I've had several friends who attended and enjoyed the institution which led to interesting careers.

P.S.

I strongly encouragr linking up with any of the local EAA chapters once at school. They can be an excellent source of info and for networking for a budding aviation enthusiast.
