This is a repaint for the Curtiss JN-4D Jenny included in the freeware 40th Anniversary Edition addon. This repaint depicts the airworthy original Curtiss JN-4D Jenny s/n 5360, registered as N2404, owned by Kermit Weeks and currently undergoing restoration to airworthy at his Fantasy of Flight attraction in Polk City, Florida.

This repaint features many external and internal details specifically made to match the real world aircraft, including stenciling, markings, wood, metal and fabric finishes, correct colors across all parts, and some new & adjusted cockpit textures.

This aircraft was one of 585 Curtiss Jenny trainers built under license by Springfield Aircraft Corporation in Springfield, Massachusetts. Manufactured in 1918, it was given the U.S. Army Signal Corps serial number 5360. In the 1960s it was fully restored by Dan Neuman of Minneapolis, Minnesota, keeping upwards of 95% original parts, and it was flown regularly, registered as N2404 (same registration remains today). By the 1980s, the aircraft was loaned to the EAA Museum at Oshkosh, but was soon sold to Kermit Weeks in 1989. Relocated to the Weeks Air Museum at the Tamiami Airport in Florida, the Jenny was one of many vintage types owned by Weeks which were substantially damaged as a result of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, when the hangar the aircraft were housed in collapsed. Steadily over time, and with the move to Weeks' Fantasy of Flight attraction in Polk City, Florida, a number of those aircraft have been restored back to airworthy again. The Curtiss Jenny is one such project which is still ongoing at this time. Now fully covered and painted, the Jenny has been returned to the same paint scheme it had worn prior to being damaged, that of an early 27th Aero Squadron example that was stationed at Kelly Field, Texas. Matching the restoration, the white tires come from a time when they were still made using pure natural rubber, mixed with chemicals such as zinc oxide (both white).
