Planes & Cars
Featured Planes & Cars in WAAAM
1930 Cunningham Hall
This is one of two surviving aircraft of its type from the early days of aviation in the history of Alaska. The Cunningham-Hall PT-6 is a single-engine six-seat cabin biplane built by the Cunningham-Hall Aircraft Corporation, which was designed mainly as a personal transport.
1914 Detroit Electric
Electric cars are over 100 years old! WAAAM’s Detroit Electric still has its original rechargeable lead acid batteries from the Edison Electric Company. Detroit Electrics were advertised to get 80 miles to the charge at speeds of 20-25 mph which was just right for the two most common types of electric car vehicle owners – doctors making house calls or ladies visiting friends and relatives.
1930 New-Standard-D25
The New Standard D-25 was purpose built for barnstorming and “hopping” rides. A barnstormer’s dream, the D-25 was a star of the early airshows. It performed acrobatics slowly and gracefully, ably carried wing walkers and its front cockpit accommodated four passengers for joyrides.
