"Woolaroc"

I visited the Frank Phillips Woolaroc Museum today, what a great display the Winner of the Dole Race to Hawaii. They have the "Woolaroc" displayed in a great setting. The Museum near the center of some 3,600 acres of land 12 miles south west of Bartlesville Oklahoma.
I never realized how cramped the pilot was with the big fuel tank behind him.
I think the flight was some 24 hours plus. They have a large scale model (showing every detail of the full sized airplane in a Travel Air hangar setting.
Please visit this museum when you are flying or driving near Bartlesville Oklahoma, you will see how deep Phillips Petroleum Company aviation roots are.
