The ticket features a stylized image of an airplane flying among clouds above the Curtiss logo and a facsimile signature of Charles S. "Casey" Jones. The text on the ticket reads, in part, "This certifies that Carl W. Chase has had an airplane ride with 'the oldest flying organization in the world'."
