This is where this web page all started -- with a few videos of Mary and me landing in Iowa City (KIOW), as an aid to our fly-in guests.    How things have grown!

New 7/6/07   Biplane Flight of 3 to Amana   Filmed in July 2007, I shot this video from the front cockpit of a 1929 Travel Air biplane, whilst flying in formation with a 1941 Stearman, and a 1932 P6E Hawk replica.  A magical flight.
 
Connie After Engine Start  The MATS Lockheed Constellation visited Iowa City on several occasion.  (Sadly, this aircraft no longer flies, and is on static display in South Korea, of all places...)  This low-res video was taken from inside the plane.

New 3/27/07   Keith's P6E Hawk   Here is a short video of one of the first taxi tests of Keith Roof's awesome plans-built P6E Hawk replica.  This plane has been built entirely from plans by Keith, an award-winning homebuilder.  Listen that great-sounding Chevy V-8 engine!
