AMA #101 graces the wing of this Bunch Stratosphere built by Bill Kleinhans. A modeler from the age of 12, Bill was lucky enough to be assigned the first AMA open number in 1938 and he maintained the number until his death in 2010. The Stratosphere, as well as a RC Lincoln Sport, both of which were built by Bill in the 1990s, were recently donated to the museum in memory of Bill Kleinhans by Fred Williams.
Thanks, Fred, for helping to grow the museum’s collection!
