A Spartan Aviation C-2-60 Monoplane. A two seater with a three cylinder 60 horsepower engine built by Tulsa’s Spartan Aviation in 1930. Spartan was trying to deal with the reduction in market by building a cheaper lighter plane but only sixteen were ever built. I think it is sleek and beautiful. This one is on display at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. Spartan is still in business as an aviation school.
I used Topaz Lab’s Glow software with the “Squiggly Lines” backed off about 50 percent. I like how the background colors faded to monochrome bringing the aircraft out of a very busy background.

Those old planes are like the old cars, real classic beauties. Happy New Year 🙂
You nailed it on this shot!
That is perfect for DAM! Nice work, nice plane (Bill says so).
Love this plane. Not many people know that Tulsa has a rich aeronautic history. Very nice image.
Hello, Belated Happy New Year for you. My husband was really attracted seeing the 1931 Spartan Monoplane♪ Thank you SO much for your visits. Wishing you a great year ahead.
