Here’s another version of a biplane. Not open cockpit but it is a bundle of fun.
This is Big Red - a Pitts Model 12 that we took delivery of last summer. First flight after delivery in it was to Oshkosh and then a flight back to Rhode Island.
It took a little while to get used to but I’m finally enjoying it.

Edit: yes, I’m one of those people who can’t figure out how to get a photo to post correctly. But then again, it is a Pitts so maybe this is the rightful position. Z.

I got some air under the tires of my Stearman a couple of times this past week. It’s been ground-bound longer than I’d like due to a move to a new airport and hangar, COVID-19 precautions and some poor weather. I was captured in the process of clearing some of my rust from the lay-off. Photo credit goes to Matt Milligan - the image was taken at my new base of Aurora, IL (ARR)

3 years with this now, and every flight is special. Taking in the smells and sights while cruising low and slow, the sound of wind through the flying wires, the pulsing vibration and lovely sound of the radial engine, the connection with aviation history, well it all transports the pilot and passengers into a different dimension. It's a 2007 Classic Waco YMF 5-C. I can't say enough good things about my experience with the factory support and the people at Waco. They are also expanding their physical facilities and production in Battle Creek and make continuous improvement to their production and product line. They are even building an adjacent restaurant on the field. "Ask any pilot"
