Cosmicwind, Yes you are right again, the "flying tigers" restaurent was neat. Got to eat there one time with my dad when I made a return to home visit some years ago. My dad is gone now but I remember all the Curtiss photos making my dad tell stories about his war time with Curtiss-Wright. Thanks for bring back that memory! Yes, N.Y. state and Western New York has lots aviation history. Glenn Curtiss doing early seaplane testing in the Finger Lakes area, Bell helicopter at Nigara Falls Airport and the X-1 rocket plane on display there once (I saw it), and much more. Take care, Larry
