A great man, a fitting tribute.

A very appropriate monument. Well restored 310, too. A wonderful tribute to his life, career, and contribution to and participation in aviation. Well done with kudos to EAA Chapter 993. Nice story in the middle of the pandemic a week before this next presidential election.

And the article doesn’t state that he starred in one of the best aviation movies ever made, Spirit of St. Louis instead Mr. Smith Goes To Washington?

“Slim” as he was sometimes called. What a great tribute to a great aviator, patriot, and actor.
