Default RE: Peter Barth Waco

In case any of you are interested, I got to ride in a real Waco on Friday on the island of Kauai. The plane was built in 2002 by http://www.wacoclassic.com/ and the rides are offered through http://www.tropicalbiplanes.com/ . The engine is a Jacobs that was built in the 1940’s. The sight out the front of the plane is quite neat, once the tail lifts off, prior to that you can’t see anything but sky. Obviously, the pilot can see more as he turns from side to side since he his further back. Anyway, it was a great experience. I posted a bunch of pictures at http://www.lundyphotos.com/Waco%20Fl...Web/index.html that show a few detail shots around the airplane.
