1936 Lockheed Electra 12A Junior - Fly/In Cruise/In

Program #57 Part #4
Fly/In Cruise/In Video Magazine Join us at the Fly/In Cruise/In as Joe Shepherd (Fayetteville, Georgia) tells us how he purchased this 1936 Lockheed Electra Junior in 1988. It had been sitting on a ramp in Texas for about 10 years. The owner wanted a Cessna 195, and he just happened to have one to trade. This Lockheed Electra was one of two that was used in the movie "Amelia" starring Hilary Swank & Richard Gere. Portraying Amelia Earhart with the Lockheed at this years Fly/In Cruise/In is Pat Wegner. Join us as Pat shares with us her interest in Amelia Earhart & her feelings as to what might have happened when Amelia disappeared on her historic flight on July 2, 1937. Pat is with the "Shooting Star Museum" located between Castroville & Devine, Texas. The Fly/In Cruise/In is held annually on Saturday of Labor Day weekend at the Marion, Indiana Municipal Airport.

An absolute classic. Nobody could mistake a Beech 18 for a Lockheed with the two side by side: every line of the Lockheed says "speed" - a truly beautiful aircraft. Thanks for posting!
