"MISTER MULLIGAN" COMING TO SUN 'N FUN 2023

In 1935, air racers and their aircraft were common household names, similar to NASCAR drivers today. Benny Howard and Gordon Israel built the Howard DGA6 known as Mister Mulligan specifically to win the Bendix race that year. It went on to be the first airplane ever to win both the Bendix and Thompson Trophies in the same year. Sadly, the original “Mister Mulligan” crashed in 1936 and was destroyed. In the late 1970s, Jim and Bob Younkin built the most faithful replica ever. Come see it at SUN 'n FUN!

That's right, Doug Rozendaal is bringing Mister Mulligan to SUN 'n FUN 2023. Doug tours with Mister Mulligan to tell the story of Golden Age aviation and its impact on the aviation industry.,Doug is a 30+ year airshow performer flying numerous WWII fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft. He has over 10,000 flying hours and has flown over 230 types of aircraft.
