1937 Spartan Executive

Steve Kates aka Dr. Sky showed up at the Reno Races for the first few days. As aircraft were arriving early so that NAHI had time to position them we spotted this Polished to the Hilt Spartan Executive come up and shut down it’s engine. What a wonderfully restored private aircraft this was!! He contacted the owner/pilot Steve and set up an interview with him and the aircraft for the following day. Below is the report including some great video shot by Joe Kates.
