A demonstration flight commemorating the centennial of the Navy acquiring its first aircraft has been canceled after a reproduction of the 1911 seaplane crashed shortly after taking off from one of New York’s Finger Lakes during a practice run, organizers said Friday.
The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office said the reproduction Curtiss A-1 Triad took off from Keuka Lake around 7:35 p.m. Thursday and crashed back onto the water soon after outside Hammondsport, on the lake’s southern end 55 miles southeast of Rochester.
