| The
Aeronca C-3s, nicknamed the "Flying bathtub",
were manufactured from 1931 to 1937. With room for two
adults the C-3 proved itself as being a low cost reliable
airplane. This Aeronca C-3 was originally owned and flown
by the Hughes Flying Service. Sporting its sponsor’s
name, Oldsmobile, Mr. Hughes would land on and take off
from a specially equipped Oldsmobile sedan at air shows in the
late 1930s. The restoration was completed by museum
volunteers in 2005. Donated to the GAAM by the late
Dr. James A. McCord. |
