Well, folks. I just finished scrolling through this whole thread ( I don’t think I missed any pages). Great stuff. But thought of a couple that items I did not see.
RGS’s “Galloping Goose”

And Minneapolis Moline’s “Comfortractor”

Enjoy, and thanks for all the great info on these oddities from our past.

I found this in the background on a YouTube video. It was about an airplane from the 1930's but this airport tug caught my eye. Anybody know what it is? It almost looks like a shortened Bantam if that is possible.

It looks like a Reliant Robin. The creator of that thing must not have seen the guys from Top Gear roll them over multiple times.

Or maybe he did and just wanted to try the same thing.
