Bill Tinkler, Rich Hornbeck, and Pat McNerney will be bringing more mail planes to Air Mail Days, the 2008 National Fly-In! Never been to Blakesburg before? Read the First Timer's Guide to attending the Blakesburg fly-in. Bill Tinkler re-traced the east-west air mail route in 1984 in his Luscombe 8F. Rich Hornbeck's Waco ASO was the tow-plane for the Texaco "Eaglet" transconinental glider flight from March 30th to April 6th 1930. Click to see a mail cover from this historic flight. Pat McNerney's Fairchild KR21 was a participant in the 1938 National Air Mail Week Celebrations. Larry Tobin's Stearman C3B project is getting close to flying, probably sometime in May.
