The History Of The AVE Mizar Flying Pinto

From the earliest newspaper articles in 1970 where Henry Smolinski started to share his idea with the world to it’s unfortunate end in 1973 with the crash of the AVE Mizar Flying Pinto. I have gathered as much information as I can in hopes of telling the most complete story possible of this fantastic idea, concept and implementation of a dream.

Back in the fifties and early sixtys, a Celebrity named George Gobles regulary flew a car plane in his TV show.

It folded into a trailer he pulled behind afteranding.

That was the only one I ever seen. I don’t have any idea what it was or what it’s name was.
