Video: Jimmy Doolittle’s restored Stinson Reliant

By General Aviation News Staff · May 10, 2016 ·

Smitty Smith of FunPlacesToFly.com sent us his newest video, which features a rare aircraft. Smitty explains: “We attended EAA Chapter 1246‘s monthly get together where they were having a pancake and sausage fly-in in McKinney, Texas. There we saw Jimmy Doolittle’s totally restored 1938 Stinson Reliant aircraft. The owner was gracious enough to tell us about the history of this glorious aircraft.”
