Remarks

This 1927 Travel Air 4000 s/n 185 left the factory with a temperamental OX-5 engine.  It was flown in Texas for 10 years before crash landing and was stored in a farmers barn for over years.  It was purchased and restored by Jim "Speed" Williams in 1995 and restored over a seven year period flying again for the first time in 65 years in 2002.  The restoration incorporated many improvements including the installation of an air-cooled Continental R-670.

N2937 is the oldest Travel Air flying in the United States and Is painted to commemorate the 1927 National Air Races from New York to Spokane which were attended by over 100,000 people.
