The plane, which featured a finish so shiny a person could shave in the reflection, was one of the last of its model line built in the company’s original factory in College Park, Md., Good said. James Good, a Nevada County resident, brought his 1948 Ercoupe 415 Echo to the show. “Having three planes is handy,” he said with a chuckle, “because I can move from plane to plane and not have to change the rigs.”

Finally, Boyd said, there’s a “turbine” airplane for use over rice fields.
