What is believed to be the only surviving Kreutzer K5 Air Coach made a stop at Blakesburg en-route from California to a new home in Minnesota. Built in 1929 as a Kreutzer K2 and later modified to K3 and K5 standard it was delivered to a Mexican mining company in 1935 and registered as XB-AHO. Following an accident in 1940 the aircraft spent another 42 years in Mexico before being recovered to the USA for restoration in 1982.
