Posted on October 29, 2015 | in Uncategorized | by Lexington Herald-Leader
Charles Bohmer of Bohmer Flying Service drove his Ercoupe back to Blue Grass Field on Feb. 25, 1947, after a month’s display in Kinkead-Wilson Motor Co. showrooms, 177 North Mill Street in downtown Lexington. Shorn of its wings and throttled back to 45 mph, the single-engine plane navigated city streets and Versailles Pike. The plane was escorted by city and county patrolmen to the airport.
