The Low-Tech Times previously reported that a Wright Brother’s Military aircraft replica would make an appearance in September of this year.
The Wright Brothers’ ‘Fort Myer’ Flyer reproduction will be on display tomorrow, Saturday, September 6th at Fort Myer in Arlington, Virginia. Here is a link to the event website.
After posting a photo and audio clip from yesterday’s Pageant of Steam, I uploaded a couple of short steam tractor video clips taken at the event.
Today, my wife and I went to the Shenandoah Valley Steam and Gas Engine Association Pageant of Steam in Berryville, Virginia. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm arrived just in time to rain on the parade of steam, but the event went on as scheduled. I used a cassette recorder to make a short audio recording of the noon whistle blow and parade of steam tractors.
The event also featured model-T fords, Stanley Steamers, a hay baling demonstration, a sawmill demonstration, corn dogs, and more. Fortunately, the weather cleared later in the afternoon.
I also shot a couple of short video clips, which I will try to upload in the coming days.
