Biplane Formation Flight
On
July 2, 2007, Gary Lust, Keith Roof, and Tom Snell flew a 3-ship formation
from Iowa City to Amana Airport -- and I was lucky enough to ride along!
Gary flew his classic 1929 Travel Air, Keith flew
his "new/old" P6E Hawk replica fighter, and Tom flew his 1941 Stearman
biplane on a picture-perfect summer evening to the quintessential classic
air strip in Amana, Iowa.. The intense green of the lush midwestern
countryside, combined with the warm temperature and the sounds and smells of
classic radial engines made for an absolutely magical evening.
