Hi Chris,

This was the Mystery Ship series of the late 1920s and early 30s. Jimmy Doolittle raced one, and, as I recall from his photos, he had very little hair remaining. :-)

They’re lovely aircraft, Jim, but I’d really like a go in that racer; that 
would take off any remaining hair!

Airport fly-ins have always been fun for me, and for many others. This one had 
a collection of classic warbirds that had been lovingly restored. This was a 
North American B-25 Mitchell bomber, with WWII nose art.

The Beechcraft Heritage Museum, located right off of the local airport, has a 
number of unique aircraft from the Beechcraft line. This is a replica of the 
Travel Air R air racer.
