A few more airplanes from the Fly-In

This is the last group of airplanes on display at the Fly-In. They had demonstrations, but I was wasn't able to make it for that.


The Piper Cub pictured above.

Above is the ERCO PQ-13.

From information resting on the front tire.

It was manufactured on 8-14-1941. It was purchased by the U.S. Army Air Corps on August 19, 1941, and delivered to Wright Field Dayton, Ohio as part of the Aerial Target Test Program. The aircraft was painted as it was at Wright Field in December 1941. Of the three Ercoupes purchased by the army (one YO-55 and two PQ-13's), this is the only flying military Ercoupe left in the world today.

Not sure of the type of plane above, I just like the colors.

More aircraft from the Royal Air Force in Texas Fly-In

I believe the British pilots trained in planes similar to this one.

The plane below is a PT-19

Below is R4D, the Navy version of the DC-3.

Aircraft on display

One of the neat things to see at the Fly-In was the different types of aircraft. I should have took a notepad and a pen. I didn't get many of the types of planes.

I hate flying in the big commercial jets, but I could see myself being a pilot in one of these planes during the war.

More tomorrow.

Come on over

Spotted at Terrell Municipal Airport last Sunday.

Hi - this is a great article and photos. I found this as I am researching the graves in the picture. I am a cousin of Vincent Cockman who is one of the 20 young airman buried in Terrell. I live in the UK. As a small child I remember meeting his mother - who was my grandmother's aunt. I am in Dallas TX for a wedding in mid October and am planning on visiting the Oakland Memorial Park. If anyone can help me with directions to find Oakland from Dallas that would be very much appreciated. I also plan to visit the 1 BFTS museum in Terrell. My grandmother was his first cousin. Many thanks and congratulations on this great article.

Dont forget to check the link on the right for the Royal Air Force in Texas Fly In taking place in October.
