Remarks: Replica of the Ryan NYP (Spirit of St. Louis). "Spirit of St. Louis" was named in honor of Lindbergh's supporters in St. Louis, Missouri, who paid for the aircraft. "NYP" is an acronym for "New York-Paris," the object of the flight.
Remarks: AM-YA. 1939 era general-purpose aircraft that was used as a trainer, liaison, glider tug and light transport for the German Luftwaffe during World War II.
Remarks: [1600 pix] Lovely looking T-38 from Whiteman in the static, during the March ARB 2010 Airshow. Very old bird as well, look at the fiscal year - 1965. Yet still a new reg for JP!
