Rugged 14' Kayak
That Fits in Any Small Plane!
with 3 Smaller Sizes Available

1. American Airlines inaugurated
passenger service with the Douglas DC-3 on June 26, 1936. Production of the DC-3 ended in 1942
after 607 had been built. However,
more than 16,000 were built when
including the C-47, military version
of the DC-3.

3. After boarding the Martin B-26
Marauder on June 9, 1942, Lyndon
Johnson deplaned because of his
need to visit a restroom. The
Wabash Cannonball was subsequently shot down, killing all
aboard, including his roommate
at the time.
4. He is taxiing a seaplane into
the wind and toward a docking,
beaching, or mooring area and
needs to reduce taxi speed as
much as possible by increasing
drag and decreasing idle thrust.
(Seaplanes obviously do not have
brakes.)
5. On October 1 and 2, 1957, TWA
Flight 801, a Lockheed 1649A Constellation, needed 23 hours and 19
minutes to fly from London to San
Francisco.
6. If the plunger works its way out
to the open position during flight,
fuel will be drawn through the
primer and into the engine. This
can result in such an excessively
rich mixture that the engine will
lose power or fail entirely. Always
verify that the plunger is locked in
the closed position before takeoff.

7. A modified Convair F-106 Delta
Dart holds a world speed record
of 1,526 mph (Mach 2.31) set on
December 15, 1959. The Soviets claimed that their prototype
YE-152-1, a version of the MiG-21,
was clocked at 1,666 mph a few
years later, but this has never been
verified.
8. The J stood for Walter C.
Jamouneau, William Piper's chief
engineer during the development
of the J-2 and J-3 Cubs.
