The Aircraft Exhibition on Saturday was even more enjoyable thanks to the presence of the fantastic California Hotdogs team. You can find them at their new hotdog stand next to Cool Hand Luke’s or on weekends at Avila Beach.

Fleet Model II - this is a restored 1929 fleet model 2 biplane. A typical primary trainer of the day, Allan Hancock personally flew this type of aircraft on numerous occasions and included the Fleet Model II in his training aircraft fleet. However, the overall training fleet was composed primarily of P.T.- 13 Stearman. The Fleet biplane trainers came into existence in 1928 as the Consolidated Model 14. It is a civilian trainer loosely based on the military P.T. -3 and NY-1 trainers. In 1929, Consolidated turned production over to a subsidiary company named after Consolidated's president Ruben Fleet. All the Fleet models are identical, with the only difference being the engine installed on each model. The Fleets proved to be very popular trainers throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. Approximately 1,250 Boeing Fleet Model II of all versions were built. The Fleet Model was not incredibly popular in the U.S. as the Canadian-manufactured aircraft was mostly used in Canada and other foreign countries.
