  • The Reims Air Races
    Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed.

  • Thunderbird Update January
    January 2021 RECORD SETTING BENDIX TROPHY WINNER Dakota Territory Air Museum’s P-51C Thunderbird by Chuck Cravens Thunderbird taxis back from winning Bendix Trophy flight, September 3, 1949, Jim Pyle photo, courtesy of Kevin Grantham www.dakotaterritoryairmuseum.com January 2021 Update A ten year old boy paints a picture of a P-51 Mustang on his bedroom wall and dreams that he is in the cockpit, swooping through a cathedral of clouds at 400mph. All who are intrigued by warbirds likely had this same fantasy at some point in our childhood, and for most, flying a Mustang will continue to elude us, even into adulthood. But this story is about more than wishful thinking, it is about how that same 10 year old boy made his dream a reality. Looking up at his wall, a young Warren Pietsch vowed that someday he would own and fly a P-51, but he couldn’t do it alone. Warren’s father, Al Pietsch, owned Pietsch Flying Servicein Minot North Dakota), and Warren was fortunate to grow up in the family aviation business. In the 1990’s Warren took ownership of the company and renamed it Pietsch Aircraft Restoration & Repair, Inc which would eventually become Minot Aero Center. Warren’s father Al, mother Eleanor, and brothers Gary and Kent were all pilots, and supported Warren’s flying career early on. Many others were also encouraging: Gary Johnson, a mechanic and pilot who went to work for Warren’s dad in 1964 and still works for Warren; Don Larson, chairman of Dakota Territory Air Museum; close friends Brian Sturm, Jay Blessum, and many others, had an impact on Warren’s aviation story.
