Banner Flies Over State House

This airplane banner flew over the State House yesterday, clearly telling Speaker Finneran to allow a vote in the House on Justice Marshall, as mandated by the state Constitution.

This is the airplane that towed the 200-foot banner over Boston yesterday with Harry Nikitas at the controls from Aerial Supersigns in Fitchburg. After flying over Boston for an hour, Nikitas went along the crowded beaches on the North Shore up to New Hampshire on a perfect summer day. The aircraft is a 1957 L-19 Birddog built by Cessna for the US Military after WW2 as a spotter aircraft. This plane flew over enemy lines in Vietnam.
