The Frank Price Special- Great Lakes Trainer

Frank Price of Waco, Texas took his Great Lakes to Czechoslovakia in 1960 to represent the U.S. for the first time in the World Aerobatics Championships. Frank went on his own initiative and at a great personal expense in time and money because of his dedication to sport aviation.

The Great Lakes is named Celesta in honor Frank's widow who lovingly supported and put up with his aviation antics for many years. Frank Price was founder of the American Flying Tiger Club and the original inductee in the EAA/IAC aerobatic Hall of Fame. Steve met Price in 1960 when he was working at the Waco Airport while a student at Baylor.
