Your aviation enthusiast won’t believe his eyes when he sees the newest addition to the Frontiers of Flight museum in Dallas. Starting Monday, the antique military craft known as “The Flying Pancake” will be on display for all to see. This aircraft is actually a Vought V-173, but received its nickname due to its flat disc-shape design. The aircraft was recently restored and is truly a one of a kind WWII artifact. Click here for more information on this and other exhibits at the Frontiers of Flight Museum.
