I’ve been actively following the biplane market for a year, learning what I can. I’ve had an intention of buying a flying 2-seat biplane…Starduster, Skybolt, etc… or finishing some else’s project. One day I’d like to own a Stearman, but I’ve got a lot to learn and earn before that can happen. I’ve got a handful of taildragger lessons in Cubs, first before my private, and again in the last weeks.
Somehow I ended up buying a 150 and half a Mooney, for all the right reasons. They’re great planes, but I still eagerly open my Barnstormer’s email every morning to see what new biplanes cropped up overnight. My long-term goal has been to use the 150 for what it’s good at, then swap it for a biplane. That goal is turning into an itch, so I figured I’d go ahead and introduce myself here.
I was not available to go to Sun-n-Fun again this year, so I’ll be sure to make Osh Kosh. I just don’t know if I can wait that long, though. I’ve seen precious few biplanes in person during this affliction, so I’m keeping an eye out for fly-ins or other opportunities where I can talk to builders and pilots about their planes. Please let me know of any good vintage/acro events coming up between Chicago and Atlanta.
Thanks so much to everyone who contributes so much knowledge here. This site is a real gem in the vast wasteland of the Internet.
