Cruise Flight, The Texas Air Museum:

Larry interviews Kenny Paynter of the Texas Air Museum. He takes us on a journey through the storied history of the Stinson family and their contribution to aviation. Most of us know about the Stinson aircraft but in this interview you will find out there is another parallel story of some of the original Women Aviators and aerobatic pilots.

I am sure you will enjoy the stories told by Kenny Paynter. Not only will you be entertained but you will learn something new about aviation history. Enjoy the show!
