May 1961 "Tortoise and the Hare" Air Race

[aerovin2]

I just added a page to my Tallmantz section on the May 1961 'race' between Frank Tallman's FG-1D Corsair and Lincoln LF-1 "Nieuport 28." The race was flown from Los Alamitos, CA, to Pensacola, FL, over 10 days. Not so well known today, but received a lot of press back then and was part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of Naval Aviation.
