Culver LCA - Port Columbus International Airport - Columbus, OH - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

This bright yellow and red civilian plane hangs from the ceiling inside Port Columbus International Airport.

There are no plaques to explain what this plane is, or why it's here, however a quick search of the registration number (NC20989) brings up a little bit of interesting information. This is a prototype Culver Cadet that was built in 1939. Al Mooney who was chief engineer at Culver Aircraft here in Columbus, is credited for building this plane. It also features retractable landing gear which was unique for a plane this small at the time.
