This Stearman Speedmail was one of five that were together at CXP. Several of them are now in San Diego where they will begin a 100th Year Commemorative Air Mail reenactment trip just two days from today (on May 13, 2018). I've included a link below that gives details, including scheduled stops, about the upcoming event.
