Mooney Mite at Port Townsend Aero Museum

[amillet]

Local EAA Chapter sponsored a Saturday fly out to the Port Townsend Aero Museum (0S9), where a Mite is one of the aircraft on display 

They also have a Call-Air Model A (red aircraft on floor in last photo) which was the model Kenneth Arnold was flying when he spotted UFOs near Mt. Rainier in 1947.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CallAir_Model_A

There was a nice Mite in the collection at the Planes of Fame museum at Valle, AZ, but that facility is no longer open to the public.

Don’t they fly most of the airplanes in that exhibit too?  @PT20J could be zooming around in that Mite!

Most fly. This was a donation that had not flown for many years. During an annual inspection, it was discovered that the spar is bug ridden, so it’s on static display.
