The plane you see in this strip is supposed to be the “China Doll”, a Curtiss-Wright C-46 based in Camarillo, CA. Since Mike used to work in Camarillo for a long time, he grew fond of it and that’s why we decided to feature it in one of our strips.

And yes, I know, the scale is a bit off. But otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to fit it in the pictures.
