Hallmark Keepsake Ornament - Curtiss R3C-2 Seaplane, Sky's the Limit, Third in Series 1999 (QX6387) - In 1925, air races were popular and the Curtiss R3C-1 biplane was created to compete. For over-the- water races, the seaplane version Curtiss R3C-2 was built and equipped with streamlined wooden floats. It won the prestigious Schneider Cup Race in Bay Shore Park, Baltimore, averaging more than 230 mph. The following day, it set a world speed record of 245 mph. This series of Keepsake Ornaments features highly detailed historic aircraft. The number 3 on this seaplane is the same number carried by the R3C-2 in the Schneider race.
