"Pennzoil Special" Art Scholl purchased this DHC-1 Chipmunk in 1968. He modified it to a single-seat configuration with a shorter wingspan and larger vertical fin and rudder, and made other changes to improve its performance. Scholl was a three-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, an air racer, and a movie and television stunt pilot. At air shows, he often flew with his dog "Aileron" on his shoulder or taxied with him standing on the wing. Now in the Smithsonian, Washington DC.
