A 1943(? I think that was the year) Stearman! It was the best plane I have ever flown. The owner is a long time friend of my father, and he invited us out to fly it because he is getting ready to sell it. Dont ask me why! I think he is moving up to something he can land on the water Anyway, he took us up (one at a time obviously) for about 30min a piece. It was awesome!! Open air flying is so cool. He let me take the controls for some time (me dad used to be a pilot so I have the basics down) so I didnt get too many in flight pics.

This plane is basically flawless. Probably one of the nicest in the country!







Me and my dad for scale

Back on the ground safely :



I even got some video!

Im not. Sorry, I guess I should have said that. I can, but I dont have a license or anything. I just grew up around it, as we used to have a Piper of our own.

I just went up with the friend of ours. . .

That garage...
On second thought, it's probably more of a hangar, but who cares!
