They must have a rule there that all aircraft must have at least one of three things...
Corrugated skin, three engines, or bump cowls. :D

Cool stuff. Thanks for posting.

LOL! Yes must they have that rule. Lots of radials to maintain that's for sure.
Thanks!

So sad they never fly the two Wacos that Greg owns. We tried to get him to come to the 50th Reunion with one.

....and the Stinson A tri-motor still doesn't have bump cowls. Gene's been on those for almost 5 years now.

I know little about this museum, but is one I would really like to see someday. Are the open house dates posted anywhere, or is it open to the public at any other time??

Thanks.
