Look up Creve Couer Airport, 1H2, near STL. Tons of vintage aircraft and I know there are, or were a couple staggerwings on the field that were airworthy. If not, you're bound to find somebody with experience. There are a couple restoration companies on the field and they host an annual Beech fly-in.

When my Grandpa died we sold his two WACO's to the guys at Creve Cour - nice guys - neat airplanes there. Anyone in StL for any amount of time needs to takea run over there and look at the planes.

There was a fly-in at my home base and a guy was giving rides. My son and I went up with him.

I wanted to ask him a lot of questions and talk pilot talk with him, but he was real quiet and seemed pre-occupied with what he was doing - almost nervous. I tried to help out by calling out traffic and letting him know what was on my side while he was taxiing, but he just ignored me. Kind of bummed me out, but the airplane was still cool.
