First flown from Lock Haven in March 1943 the PT-1 was the first low wing monoplane built by Piper and was designed for use as a trainer for the USAAC. The ending of the Second World War meant that no orders were forthcoming and the design never got beyond the prototype stage. Displayed at the EAA museum for several years before moving to the Piper Aviation Museum at Lock Haven where it remains on display at time of upload.

The Rocket 185 was developed from the Rocket 125. The aim was to produce a high-performance aircraft for $5000. Only 19 were built with its limited seating - it was essentially a two-seater - seen as an impediment. The design was taken over by Rocket Aircraft but no further aircraft were built. N90204 is still registered to a Florida based owner at time of upload.

Built in 1931 for the Champion Spark Plug Company. Flown by Captain Lewis Yancey 1931-32 in demonstration flights, one of them being a flight over the Gulf of Mexico from Havana, Cuba to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It was then on display at the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry until it was sold off after WW2. It was eventually discovered in a barn and was acquired by Steve Pitcairn, who restored it to flying condition. Steve is seen in the slide taxiing out for takeoff at the 1986 EAA Convention, which was one of the first public flying displays of it after restoration.
