Merry Christmas
 Last Christmas Kath got me a gift certificate for a bi-plane ride up in Sonoma [Wine Country]. I cashed in on it today, since we finally got a decent weather weekend. WHAT A BLAST!! Went up for about 30 min. over the beautiful hills and vineyards of The Valley Of The Moon, and did some loop-the-loops, barrel rolls, power stalls, etc.. THANKS, KATH!

What a Great Gift!
Is that a seatbelt harness or a parachute you`re rigged to ? I`ve flown in several small planes-even logged hours w/an instructor,but have always dreamed of going up in a vintage bi-plane like that.I think,by God,I`ll just have to do that this summer!Great pics,Kath.

That'd be a parachute, Bud. Said I'd have to wear it, if I wanted to do any aerobatics. I'da hated to have to try to use it though. You'd be toast before you got out of all the harness and seatbelts they had me in. It's all show, anyway. The pilot didn't wear one.

Cool!
When Deb and I come out to vistit can we go to this place????? I would love to do that.
Don't look like a T-10 to me. How long did it take you to figure out there wasn't a static line? How much does something like that cost....not that I'm worried, just want to pack the extra bucks for a thrill. Packo

Tubular!!!
The Red Baron takes off!!
You know what this is leading up to, dontcha? US JUMPING AGAIN!!! AIrborne!!!! This kinda 'minds me of the time when my brother bought me a ticket to ride an ultralight out at the Chico Airport. I procrastinated about doing it but finally went out there--the guy told me he was fixing it and to come back in a few days. On the first test flight out the next day he crashed and killed himself James PS Tom--reduce the size of the images on your camera
