🛩️ : In 1933, aviation legends Amelia Earhart and Orville Wright visited The Franklin Institute to celebrate the opening of Aviation Hall!

That same year, Earhart offered her bright red, record-breaking Lockheed Vega 5B, affectionately nicknamed “Little Red Bus,” to the museum.

Today, you can see a model of Earhart’s plane in our Hamilton Collections Gallery—a Philadelphia Model Aeroplane Association scale model contest winner from 1935.

Pictured L-R: Orville Wright, Amelia Earhart, and Howard McClenahan, Secretary of The Franklin Institute.
