…The Mid American Flight Museum Team was presented with the Gold Lindy as the Antique Grand Champion for its restoration of the museum’s 1929 Travel Air 6000.
“This is an amazing accomplishment and a win not only for the Mid America Flight Museum, but for Mount Pleasant,” said City Manager Ed Thatcher. “Under the leadership of Scott Glover, the owner and curator of the museum, the restoration team put in 30,000 hours of work to bring this beauty back to its full glory, and we can’t be prouder of their success.”
According to the AirVenture website, hundreds of gorgeous, striking airplanes arrive at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh every year in hopes of winning a Lindy Award. Only a handful come away with any sort of award. Fewer still come away with a Lindy.
