Default Fun Biplane ride

Mary and I went for a great sunset flight on a biplane for her May 28 birthday. It really was a blast flying over our house and doing some light aerobatics. All went well, but it didn't go so well for folks flying in the same plane last weekend. The engine cut out and it crashed into Lake Travis. Here we are before our flight, the other shots are from video of the plane going into the lake. Beautiful Waco airplane and nice ex-military pilot. The pilot and two passengers made it out fine.

Do you want to bet it'll fly again? TAZ

Likely will but not likely with Tim and Mary......

Saw that on the news and was amazed those people survived relatively unhurt.

I caught that on the news too. Glad nobody was hurt. Hopefully the plane can be brought back to life.
