I have these great photos to share with you all today.
We have all seen the pictures of Edgar Bergen and his Cessna but did you know Charlie McCarthy also had a plane?
Check out the silhouette on the tail of this fabulous plane which of course is being piloted by Mr Bergen.
Does anyone out there know what kind of plane this one happens to be?

Hi Dan,
I may be wrong, but that plane looks like a Mustang.
