    Reproduction of Curtiss-built "Little Looper" for daredevil Lincoln Beachey. First pilot to successfully 'loop the loop' in an aircraft. The Looper was first museum aircraft to go atop a full-swivel castered kiosk: allowing room for graphics below and easy respotting on the floor, while raising the aircraft high enough for visitors to walk under the wings unimpeded.

    Indicative of how museum appeared in 1980. Handwritten signs hanging on aircraft. No showcases or mannequins yet. Only barriers around aircraft were the 8-ft hinged 'trip bars' containing fluorescent tubes behind red translucent strips. Easily moved to accommodate respotting the exhibit floor. White DSA miniplane was the first suspended display not on a wall winch.

    Spitfire XVI (SL721) loaned by Woodson K. Woods. On display for 6 years until museum acquired their own. Stuka was 70% scale reproduction, eventually returned to its owners also. Me-109 suspended upside-down is a wooden mock-up. Painted in Erich Hartmann's colors.
