AviaBellanca Skyrocket III ->

We received this from the F.A.I., the international organization that verifies and awards official aviation world records:You may be interested to know that we have a number of Bellanca aircraft world records in our lists of world-class performances... A Skyrocket II still holds the 'speed over a closed circuit course of 100 / 500 / 1000 km' records in the concerned weight sub-class.

With Best regards,
