On display at Udvar-Hazy. Shortly after delivery on 6 Nov 1943, this P-38J was converted to a two-seat trainer, spending its time at Wright Field as an experimental aircraft. It was flown there on 16 Apr 1945 by Maj. Richard I. Bong, America's highest scoring fighter ace. He had planned to fly for an hour but the right engine blew up, cutting the test short. On 20 Jun 1945 it was earmarked for storage as a museum aircraft. The J had redesigned oil cooler intakes and larger radiator scoops. Turbo-supercharger cooling intakes on top have replaced the carburetor air scoop on earlier models.

The oldest surviving Pitts Special, Little Stinker was the second aircraft constructed by Curtis Pitts. Betty Skelton bought this airplane in 1948, and with it she won the 1949 and '50 International Feminine Aerobatic Championships. Her impressive flying skill and public relations ability heightened awareness of both aerobatics and the Pitts design. Skelton sold Little Stinker in 1951, but she and her husband later reacquired it and donated it to the Smithsonian. A volunteer crew restored it from 1996 to 2001.

The oldest surviving Pitts Special, Little Stinker was the second aircraft constructed by Curtis Pitts. Betty Skelton bought this airplane in 1948, and with it she won the 1949 and '50 International Feminine Aerobatic Championships. Her impressive flying skill and public relations ability heightened awareness of both aerobatics and the Pitts design. Skelton sold Little Stinker in 1951, but she and her husband later reacquired it and donated it to the Smithsonian. A volunteer crew restored it from 1996 to 2001.

In 1933, Richard C. du Pont teamed with Hawley Bowlus and the two men set up shop in San Fernando, California, to build gliders. Their most successful competition sailplane was the Senior Albatross. The Bowlus shop built four and Warren Eaton bought the third in May 1934. He named the sailplane "Falcon" and flew it often including over the Blue Ridge Mountains from an airfield at Big Meadows, VA, in 1934.
