Photos from: South of the Border: "Snow planes made winter travel easier and provided seasonal recreation"




This photo shows Ed Mlinar beside a snow plane believed he built in the 1950's. A private pilot, Mlinar used his interest and knowledge of flying to build the snow plane. Mlinar's daughter, Lori Ramburg, said the machine is still stored in a building on the family farm north of Joplin. Mlinar, a friend of the local rural mail carrier, would deliver mail when the snow was too deep for a conventional vehicle to drive the route
