John Fleming has spent more than 600 volunteer hours (as of 05/01) building aircraft parts for the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY. For the 1912 Curtiss Flying Boat, the Triad A-1, the first true amphibian he built the elevator and rudder using the original plans. When completed, it will have a trial flight before going on display at the Museum. He also handcrafted the wing ribs for a Curtiss Oriole, which will also fly. Currently he is assisting a friend in the rebuilding of the wings of a 1953 Aeronca C-3.
