70th Anniversary of World Record Refueling Flight with Eleanor Smith
During November 27th through 29th, 1929, Bobbi Trout and Eleanor Smith set a world record
refueling flight of 42 hours and 20 minutes in the air. The stamp was hand-cancelled by the
post office in Los Angeles, CA on November 27, 1999. The painting on the cover is by
aviation artist Nixon Galloway, who won
the Ann Cooper award at the ASAA Forum in Seattle for his depiction of Bobbi and Eleanor's in-flight refueling.
(Bobbi's point of interest: Nixon Galloway is the grandson of Pop Burdett, who owned a flight
school and was Bobbi's first flight instructor.)

70th Anniversary of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport
Thousands of people attended the opening day of the Burbank Airport in 1930. A Women's Air Race
was part of the festivities. Bobbi Trout won the race and was presented the trophy. The envelope
shows a recent photo of Bobbi "thinking" about that infamous opening day in 1930, and the stamp was
cancelled on May 30, 2000. (Bobbi's point of interest: The cover was cancelled at the main post office
in Burbank, CA, the only office that uses a movie camera as a cancellation seal.)
