This photo doesn't begin to do justice to the beautiful dark green and bright yellow paint scheme on this biplane. It is an exact flying replica of the Laird Super Solution in which Jimmy Doolittle won the 1931 Bendix Trophy race and set a new cross country record.  The replica was completed in December of 2000 after more than 10,000 man-hours of work over a 2 1/2 year period.
