Open Skies - Into The Blue

In June 06 I flew in an open cockpit biplane (a Stearman Kaydet) out of Creve-Coeur airport near St. Louis piloted by Al Stix (back seat - that’s me in front seat.) What a thrill.

Take a ride: When in St. Louis, visit the Creve Coeur airfield (only 15 miles from St. Louis) - Rides are available in a Stearman WWII biplane trainer (or other biplane) and in a North American SNJ-5

I flew in both the Stearman Kaydet Biplane and the SNJ-5 “Texan” T-6

The airfield at Creve Coeur also boasts a very nice “Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum” with more than a hundred antique aircraft in beautiful condition.
