We do member trips to places like Mackinac , and Oshkosh, and a slew of airshows , there is talk of a ride program like the B-25 ( my wife's baby), and the B-17, but no joy yet : )

Oh man, 195 is my ultimate dream ride. Usually end up camping in fairly close proximity to the 190/195 row at OSH and spend an inordinate amount of time drooling over them. Someday....
Here's my first flight in the Pacer after getting it back to FCM. Little brother and then-3 month old pooch. Dog's first time flying, thus the concerned expression! He's an experienced backseat flyer now....

Very nice! Hoping to get the Pacer out there this summer...set up camp at Johnson Creek & check out some of the not-so-crazy backcountry strips. Probably gonna pass on Dewey Moore, Cabin Creek, & Mile-Hi this time around .
Ever flown a 180hp Carbon Cub? OMG... absolutely bonkers performance... got a chance to demo one at OSH this year.

I vote that this is the thread of the year. Wow, amazing, talking about just flying and that's it, great idea. I loved flying taildraggers 20 years ago. Had the pleasure of flying a Champ, Citabria, and a Super Decathlon. Maybe one day I'll fly one again and maybe it will be a SuperCub. (I feel like I've missed one of the pleasures in life by not flying one)

I fly a C-47 for the Yankee Air Force out of KYIP, she's a 1945 build C-47D ,part of the last batch squeezed out of Oke City before the line stopped. After years of flying freight together the Douglas and I are old friends, and I am blessed to still fly her. Tailwheels,and round engines, are still what it's all about.
