This May 1928 photo shows a young Red Irwin, standing between his parents Minnie and Wilbur, after having made the first airplane landing at Hooterville Airport. Red is wearing a white muslin flight suit and cotton flight helmet. He's flying a 1918 Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" with an OX-5 water cooled engine. The Jenny was two place and cruised around 95-100 mph. The straight blade propeller is commonly known as a toothpick prop.
