Top news stories of the day (my viewpoint)

1) One of the five Aero-cars is for sale (in Colorado, I think) $2 1/2 million, I think)
2) "Asleep at the Wheel" is doing a play based on Bob Wills - I want to see it.
3) Only unmodified Liberty Ship is in San Diego this weekend. I've been on it in SanFran, England, and hope to visit it here.

Why no OT? The Areocar had / has a Champion engine, IIRC.

Powerplant: 1x Lycoming O-290, 135 hp (100 kW)

Not that wikki is definitive.

Moulton Taylor built the Lycoming powered Aerocar. Waldo Waterman built the Champion powered Aerobile. I think I read somewhere that Studebaker bought Waterman out at one point, then later sold it all back to him.
