artpilot58: Somewhere in there a yellow GWS Tiger Moth that was used in a World Tour. Every US state had a pilot that flew the Moth [and] shipped it to the next pilot in another state. I was the Georgia pilot. My name and AMA number are written just behind the cockpit opening. All other pilots also signed the plane.
