Air Zoo Founder's Airplane
The Air Zoo is a great museum to visit, and the story behind it is compelling as well. It was founded by a woman who flew aircraft but was not allowed in combat in WWII or to be a commercial pilot, either. Times have changed!
Anyway, this is her aircraft, which I would call a "Pink Flying Tiger". I tried getting in a similar airplane in the museum (a Bell Airacobra) and I did not really fit!
