Larry Bailey submitted these photos and note: “A beautiful sunrise en route to BowmanFest 2022 in Louisville, Kentucky, at 1,600 feet in a 1917 JN-4 Jenny somewhere between Bowling Green, Kentucky, and our fuel stop at Elizabethtown, Kentucky. OAT on our cheeks ~36° F. Airspeed (as indicated on the wings trip gauge) ~72 mph. Ground speed ~42 mph! The Jenny is owned by the Friends of the Jenny, a non-profit organization.”
“This was the 100th anniversary of Bowman Field (KLOU), well actually 102 years since we were unable to celebrate until after the pandemic. The Jenny was the oldest aircraft participating in the weekend show.”

Isn’t this the one that was recently totaled in a crash?
The late Gordon Baxter (writer for Flying Magazine who wrote the monthly “Bax Seat” articles) would have been so proud to see this. He loved these planes and even named his daughter Jenny in honor of the plane.
