Got to visit the Glenn H Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport NY today. Very cool collection of early planes, engines and cars.

@alsancle Is it just me or do these things look like death traps?

I visited there last June with the Snappers Brass & Gas tour. Agreed it's a very worthwhile place to spend a couple of hours. I learned a lot about the ites between early aviation, motorcycles, and automobiles.

@gtcole George, where was your tour based out of?

@alsancle Horseheads, NY.

@gtcole The roads here are empty which is nice, but there are a lot of hills.

@alsancle Hills? That's an understatement! Coming down every one there's always either a blind STOP sign or a hairpin curve with a vertical bank on one side and a dropoff into a chasm on the other, at the bottom. And all our cars had rear axle brakes only, which would be smoking by the time we got to the bottom.
