When I was a young boy I got a large China Clipper Airplane for Christmas it
was made of metal as I remember.What a great thing it was around 1939 or 40
wish I had it today
I got lucky about 12 years ago I went to the Blueberry festival in
Plymouth,In and at the small Airport in Plymouth the EAA was giving (75.00)
rides on a Cessna Tri Motor I have info on it around somewhere.Something not
to forget.I got to fly in a lot of Navy Aircraft but there was nothing like
this.You know Piper Cubs were Cool too.I worked for a guy that owned a
Stinson Gull Wing was that an airplane just beautiful.Had a bunch of rides
in that
