Cliff Cummins' Mustang after it ran off the east end of the runway at Reno-Stead. It suffered an engine failure during that year's Air Race and attempted an emergency landing. Its larger propeller (a racing modification) struck the ground and caused the aircraft to run off the runway. The Mustang was rebuilt at Long Beach, CA in 1971.

The Larson-Holmes B leaving Concord, CA on its way to Cleveland for the National Air Races, held in early September 1949. This unique little racer was built in 1949 by Merle D. Larson and Paul M. Holmes, and was registered to Merle D. Larson on 20 Jun 1949. Unfortunately it got damaged en-route to the Cleveland Races. The short-lived aircraft was dismantled and stored, but its current fate is unknown. Registration cancelled 5 Apr 1951.
