Scenic Rides

You too can fly the planes. If interested, after liftoff our pilot will let you take the controls. See what it's like to fly the Stearman or the Cub. Longer rides are available in either plane. You can customize your ride. We'll take you anywhere you care to go within a 25 mile radius. You can fly straight and level or try a roller coaster ride. Whatever you choose to do, its an adventure of a lifetime!

N28024 1941 Boeing Stearman Biplane. Open cockpit. Built in Wichita, Kansas. Used as a primary trainer in WWII. There are still 2000 registered Stearman's out of the 10,500 built. This is the most produced biplane in America. Many were used as crop dusters after the war then returned to civilian use for general aviation.

Thumbs Up, Great Rides!

Fly in a piece of aviation history... don a helmet and goggles and step back in time. Relive the barnstorming era and experience the feel of the wind in your face as you fly over the beautiful countryside in a 1941 open cockpit Stearman biplane. It's great fun and a great adventure! You too can fly a Stearman!

As the Barnstormers of yesterday used to say..."We will take you high or low, fast or slow, anywhere you care to go. It's worth the ride just to see whether you like it or not! Fly over your house to see who is visiting your spouse. Special one-way trips for mothers-in-law. Our pilot will set you down so softly even the grass won't object....

Passenger sits in the front seat. One passenger at a time. Must be 48" tall. Helmet, headset and goggles provided.

J-3 Piper Cub

This is the very well known airplane in which a great majority of private pilots earned their wings. There are still several thousand being flown in the United States.

Just as fun... For those who might not be comfortable in the open cockpit, but enjoy low and slow, with the door and window open... the J3 is for you! We can fly you over your house or a specific area if within approved airspace. Like the Stearman, they are great for just "tooling around".

Passenger sits in the front seat. One passenger (weight limit 220lbs) at a time. Headset and intercom provided. Be sure to bring along your camera.
