The Glenn H. Curtiss Museum publicly revealed their 72-foot wingspan reproduction of the 1914 Curtiss flying boat "America" at the Museum's annual seaplane fly in on Lake Keuka in Hammondsport, in New York's Finger Lakes region. The aircraft water taxied before the crowds in 2007 but did not fly because the two 100 hp special OXX6 engines sent out for overhaul were not ready. The replica flew for the first time at the 2008 fly in. The original America was built to compete for a $50,000 prize offered by the London Daily Mail for the first transatlantic crossing by a flying machine.
