    1932

    Constructed as a 90.

    Designed as a sport trainer, the 90 was close-coupled with excellent control response, and had to be firmly flown from the time it left the ground until landing. Introduced during the Great Depression, only a handful were built and few survive. Al Kelch acquired s/n 105 in 1969 and flew it for many years. The aircraft remains airworthy in the museum today.

    1969
