Way back...

...in the Forties, Beechcraft made a plane,
a tail dragger, that looked good then, now is kind of plain,
versatile and lasting, probably some here still,
utility's the word, these planes never made a kill.

I think they were called, SNJ, sounds right,
or, maybe SNB, whatever, they were light;
you may still see one, flown from place to place,
but probably you'll never see one winning a race.

You expect Amelia Earhart to step down from one of these,
put on here scarf and fly over the trees,
up in the blue sky, she flies level and straight,
I'd sure love to see that.  Wouldn't that be great?
