Picture of the day: Reflecting history

By General Aviation News Staff · November 10, 2016 ·

Ed Watson sent in this photo, explaining: “The polished spinner reflects a line of Staggerwings that came from across the country for the dedication of the Staggerwing Museum at Tullahoma, Tenn., in 1974. Most pilots view the Staggerwing as THE first real pilot operated business aircraft and the predecessor of the V-tailed Bonanza. These are both historic aircraft.”
