CURTISS JUNIOR
A visit to the Arkansas Air Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas is a showcase of aviation history plus the hanger that houses it all was placed on the historic registry in 1996. For hanger nuts is worth a visit in itself. Of special interest to ultralights is the restored Curtiss Junior airframe. Click on the smaller images below to view a much larger version.

Curtiss is well known for building the Jenny and tried to make everyman's aircraft in the depression era with the Junior. The company built approximately 450 of them. I liked it because it looks like a modern ultralight.
