1914 biplane refurbished by the late John Bowden lives on
This 1914 Curtiss Pusher design biplane -- which sits in the Albuquerque International Sunport -- was restored by Lampasas businessman John Bowden in 1986. Lometa resident Max Eddings captured this photo of the historic plane while at the Albuquerque airport recently. MAX EDDINGS | COURTESY PHOTO

If you happen to visit Albuquerque or have a layover in the Albuquerque International Sunport airport, you may want to think about visiting the Great Hall near the north window to see a piece of aviation history. In 1987, Lampasas resident John Bowden sold an original 1914 Curtiss pusher design biplane to the Albuquerque Museum and City of Albuquerque Aviation Department.
