You are correct, my friend.

It is the Curtiss AT-9 Fledgling or jeep if your prefer. A beautiful aircraft in my opinion.

Anyone know if any are flying today?

You're absolutely right...Colonial Viper :lol:

I thought 180'ing the picture might throw people for a minute. guess not :roll:

I imagine the Boomer position on the KC-97 is one of the more photographed things in the museum. I'm just glad it's indoors now.

Well I'll keep trying.
