Designed by a young Al Mooney, promised to a bright future in the aviation industry, the Eaglerock was for some time the best-selling aircraft in the country. Alexander aircraft production was halted by the Great Depression. (from the museum's website):This Eaglerock was built in 1929, and originally had a 100 horsepower Curtiss OX-5 engine. Now it has a 300 horsepower Lycoming radial engine. The airplane was restored by Brad Davenport between 1987 and 1993, and it flew regularly for more than 20 years until it came to the museum.
