FIRST STAINLESS STEEL BIPLANE

Outside the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA - April 2011

The Budd BB-1 Pioneer is a permanent display outside the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  It is an experimental US biplane in 1930s with a framework that was constructed entirely of stainless steel.  It first flew in 1931 and logged a total of about 1000 flying hours on tours in US and Italy, and eventually retired in 1934.

The Franklin Institute is one of the must-visit attractions in Philadelphia.  There are so many exhibits to see there as well as fun stuff to do that both kids and adults will surely find enjoyable and interesting.  I will be back to show more pictures of my visit to the museum, so stay tuned! ☻

    It really does look like an interesting place to visit. Never been to Pennsylvania before. You look lovely! About the eggsperiment, I might have to try it then and see what I can come up with. hahahaha... Who knows ! Even if you asked, the owner might not even tell you or it could have been a secret. Who knows! We will see!
