Clay Lacy, movie photographer, and race pilot, used to carry a HUGE
Snoopy Dog with him stuffed in the back of his Omni Insurance
Co.sponsored Mustang.

Yes, I remember that. Snoopy was "in" then, of course..


Girls loved that dog!! Got me a BEAR!!! Girls love
bears better than dogs!!
Yep. Also it's a long standing tradition. A lot of pilots from WW1
had teddy bears, and some even carried live animals with them
(presumably to keep them warm)


Bertie

Roscoe Turner even had a pet Lion. Some guys will do ANYTHING to
attract girls, but I have to admit.....that Bear created some GREAT
times!!
:-))


Hmm, neverr really got any action out of my bear!
Roscoe must have with that lion, though. Gilmore,after his sponsers, of
course.

Bertie

Come to think of it, almost every picture I ever saw of Turner with
Gilmore, he was smiling :-))
