One was a racer owned by Dick Durst, taxiing along the highway, while the other, a 1929 Pietenpol, was being towed by Allan Wise. The planes had been at a nearby car wash as part of the promotion before returning to Herndon Airport, now Orlando Executive Airport. Residents slowed traffic as the stunt unfolded, offering a quirky glimpse into Orlando's aviation heritage prior to the city's modern air-travel infrastructure.
