Good morning all,
Every once in a while I have the opportunity to travel a bit for work, and when I get the chance to do some sight-seeing on the side I look for some historical aviation sites to enjoy in person.
I had an opportunity to go to the PIMA air and space museum, and was pleasantly surprised to see a Cruisair on display. Slightly off topic, but while visiting a family member in Co I stopped at Peterson AFB which has a EC121 on display, and they actually let you tour the inside which is relatively intact.
Anyways, I am hoping if anyone has or stumbles across the location of some of the old Bellancas on display that they could post the locations?
Aircruiser. Erickson aircraft collection Madras Or.
C.F. Prototype at the Smithstonian. According to the wikipedia article Giuseppe's landlord's daughter helped him build the C.F., and they later married. The Smithstonian also claims to have 245 boxes of papers, I kind of doubt they are on display for the public, if I am ever in the area I'll check it out.
