Scrappile Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Got invited to spend the weekend at my son-in-laws folks place. The live in a beautiful house that sits along a private community airstrip. There was a fly-in being held this weekend. Although they do not fly or own a plane, they said we could come watch all the planes come and go and have our own barbecue. We had a get time, and check this out. That be me sitting in that cockpit of one of the most beautiful Stearman Bi-planes I have ever seen... Got myself a very nice ride!! Life is soooooo good. amazingkevin, WayneMahler, jollyred and 6 others 9 Quote

Scrappile Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Posted June 25, 2018 Another picture. This one of the views from their house. The grass in front is the air strip. Mountain is MT Raineer in Washington. GPscroller and meflick 2 Quote
RabidAlien Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Soooooooooo jealous! Both of the view, and the seat you got to view it from!!! Quote
wombatie Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 Sent my husband up in a bi plane for his 60th birthday in July 2010 which sounds good right, but July down here is winter, it was -14 up in the air. His smile was frozen to his face. Marg meflick, Scrappile and GPscroller 3 Quote
Scrappile Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Oh, that would be cold!! This is my second ride in one. My daughter bought me a 15 minute ride several years ago. Before I went for the ride I paid to extend it to 1/2 hour. Then got there found out two could fit in the front seat, so my daughter went with me. SO awesome. If I could afford to have a private plane I would want it to be a bi-plane to putt around it.. So cool. Edited June 25, 2018 by Scrappile meflick 1 Quote

I am waiting for more photos. The friend of my son-in-law's folks that arranged the flight for me, took a bunch of pictures with a very professional camera. She said she would send them to me. I hope to find one of the plane, and if so will cut it and send one to her and the plane owner. meflick 1 Quote
