The first flights of Bob Coolbaugh’s 1911 Curtiss-Ely Pusher on October 8th, 2010
Bob Coolbaugh did not exactly make aviation history on Oct. 8, 2010, but at least he can imagine what it must have felt like 100 years ago.  In New Market, Va., the 61-year-old retired Navy pilot climbed aboard a replica of a 1911 Curtiss Pusher, an aircraft he had fashioned from wood, bamboo and steel. The plan: Take off and cruise at a few thousand feet while sitting on a 12-inch wide wooden plank. See how things go.
