Many aviation firsts took place in early northern California. None may have had more impact than Eugene Ely’s epic landing on the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Pennsylvania in his Curtiss Pusher. A replica of Ely’s Curtiss model “D-IV” pusher is shown on display on Jan. 28, 2022 when VFS organized an eVTOL air taxi display at the Hiller Aviation Museum at San Carlos Airport, CA.
