    WOAH! I like it!
    I’m personally here from the Pan Am Flight 914
    Yeah!
    The one that flew from 1955 N.Y. To Miami
    It disappeared, Well after 37 years it appeared, people didn’t age tho-
    Yeah
    Probably because of they flew near the Bermuda Triangle.

    @IronOverlord Exactly, I search up the weirdest planes, but those are real and I'm pretty sure have flown. (They're also on Google, search up the names)

    Awesome as always! I have some other wierd suggestions (sorry if I bug you), Savoia Marchetti S.55 and Nemeth Parasol
    Not to rush but still, I'll suggest probably the weirdest planes you've seen.

    Aaahhh, very cool! I was recently at the Virginia Beach Military Aircraft Museum and also got to inspect, up close, a bunch of the older prop airplanes.
