That's not a bad price for a ride in the Stearman. I  don't remember how much they charge for a ride in our Stearman, but I bet that it is more than $150.

We are having problems with HQ in Midland over the airworthyness of our A-26. We have had pilots fly and give it an okay, However the Chief checkride pilot has not given his okay. We are stuck between a rock and a hard place.  No fly, No rides, and no Air Shows.  The saga continues.

The local escorts practiced this morning.  I got a great picture of three contrails in formation and a forth going over them just like they said it would be.  I gotta a really good view, now they just have to figure out when she's coming after the weather delay.  I'll be up early enough to hear on the news.

I can't answer that.  This was the day before and the thing about the jets is you don't hear em til they're gone.  I'm going to do some looking to see what all was playing up there.  So far as I can tell they used my backyard for a practice run.

What I can answer is no, that wasn't the shuttle plane and yes, that was some low flying.  The sound alone was a thrill for me, they were haulin a$$.

Leo, It's the price of Freedom. I prefer the sight and sound of a Pratt and Whitney radial engine warming with the fire and smoke.

Well I see Tom Brocaw and some folks in LA are not to happy about Endevor.  400 trees seems like a small amount for History. Especially since it will generate Millions more$$$ in the community in  replacement cost and tourism shares. Wake up liberals trees are replaceable.
