Addison Pemberton, Larry Tobin, Ben Scott, Al Holloway and George Perks are re-enacting the transcontinental air mail flights in celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Air Mail.
Addison, Larry, and Ben are dedicated to recreate this epic flight to honor the pioneers of commercial aviation in the U.S. This commemorates the 90th year of air mail service in the U.S. and will bring visibility to the general public. Each of the 15 original air mail stops will include an education program. The "flight" is also authorized to carry official U.S. mail for the post office between New York and San Francisco. A staff photographer, George Perks, will fly along with the flight to document this historic re-enactment.
The Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine is tracking the flight at with daily pictures. The flight is about halfway over so far!
Here's a flyer for the flight with the route and details of the schedule.
