ROUTE 66 COURIER PAGE 7 IN MEMORY OF BEA COYLE FOLLOW-UP TO THE WINSLOW FLY-IN & CAR SHOW The Winslow Fly-in was held July 26 at the Winslow Lindbergh Airport. While not a great car show with only 10 cars presented and no remarkable aircraft available, the oral presentations and static display boards explaining the history of the airport and the beginning of trans continental mail and passenger service were very well done. And the breakfast wasn t bad. Of the ten cars which showed up, three were fellow cub member s rides with Randy Travis with his Cadilac, Bob & Maggie Bortree with their Chevrolet, and Jerry McGlothin with his Italia.
