Airflyte Wings !

When I first saw Gearhead, those aluminum wings caught my eye and I was so pleased that they had not been removed either by tree limbs or careless owners.   Trailer folks have recalled using the wings to hang beach towels from and lean fishing poles against while family members headed off to other activities.   


Shasta wings were a trademark that Serro Scotty trailers infringed upon as early as 1961.   John Serro was told to cease and desist using wheelwell cutouts to form wings.  (In fact, there is an early Scotty nearby that has three holes where wings were affixed at one time.)   More information can be found here:  NationalSerroScotty.org

Airflyte owners need crew chiefs to support missions through rough territory.   "G force" polished the aluminum frames and buffed the pressed diamond metal.   "Mach 1" attached each one with 2.5" screws and plumbing washers & nuts.   What would I do without my wingmen?
