Film opens showing two aviators in ten-gallon hats standing next to some airplanes parked on the Ford Airport in Detroit Michigan. The pilot on the left is E. W. Cleveland, known for his ten-gallon hat, which is filled with autographs and other written memorabilia pertaining to aviation. Camera shows several formations of biwing training airplanes flying over the field, and then focuses on the Texaco number 13 aircraft with pilot Frank M. Hawks in the cockpit shaking hands with someone seeing him off. Closeup of Hawks sitting upright in the cockpit. Next, his wife Edith Bowie Hawks is seen standing next to his airplane. He playfully touches her cheeks. Next a man is seen wearing a heavy fur coat with hood. He smiles for the camera and then heads into an airport building. The wind (natural or from propellers turning) causes some of the men to hold onto their hats. Views of several men and women and a child gathering in front of the corrugated fuselage of a passenger airplane. Film ends showing two men smiling and chatting with May Halzlip, one of the three women pilots in the tour, who is dressed in flying gear with helmet and goggles on top.
