Today we spent much of the day at the Electric Aircraft Symposium. I left for a bit to catch a different program on the advances in radio controlled model aircraft. It’s sure changed since the days when I was a kid making balsa wood models.
We’ve got several sources for photos and video clips around the airport. We’ll be starting to put them together on Sunday.
The airplane auction will be held Saturday night. They have some unique aircraft including a Stinson SR-10 built for and flown by the Shell Oil Company VP Jimmy Doolittle, the former WWII hero; Monocoupe 110 Special, a one-of-a-kind aircraft customized remake from the Golden Era of air racing from the 1920’s and 1930’s; Grumman FM-2 Wildcat; Songbird III, a 1960 Cessna 310D used in the 1960’s television series “Sky King” and the only remaining aircraft from that show.
