View on Google MapsMy husband had his first and best experience flying in the WW2 plane. Craig the pilot was a great guide. He let my husband fly the plane for a few minutes. It was a great experience.
Exactly as advertised Craig is great Very detailed instructions Felt very safe and comfortable I have a pilot license so this was easy
The owner and pilot Craig was very knowledgable and experienced with the aircraft and he made the process of flying straightforward and enjoyable for someone with zero prior flying experience. I would reccomend to anyone who wants a taste of flying or anyone interested in historic aircraft.

This was an excellent experience! Mr. Judd was professional and relatable and his biplane is for sure the apple of his eye! We had a fantastic time learning about the restoration of the biplane and then my partner really enjoyed the flight, too! Definitely recommend this experience!!
Perfect solo, out of the ordinary and unforgettable experience. Craig was super knowledgable, gave very clear instructions, and was personable. If you have an hour & a half, and you're in the area, you don't want to miss the awesome opportunity.
This experience was booked as a birthday present and we cannot speak more highly of the whole day and of Craig. We were walked through the entire experience and given an overview of the plane in such an informative manner, never once patronizing. Being able to see the plane up close was a treat in itself, learning about the construction and history was one thing but being able to sit inside and feel the movement of the plane as we taxied to the runway was phenomenal. The noise and power of the engine as we took off and seeing the ground begin to distance from an open cockpit was an experience like no other. Looking out over the biplane wings at the stunning landscape will be a memory that will last for a lifetime. I was able to take control of the plane in basic maneuvers before Craig took the controls for some sharp turns, lazy 8s and zero G exercises. Controls were then passed back to me as we fly back to the airfield where you fly with the horizon and your eyes rather than your instruments. The plane was so responsive and easy to fly so an ideal flight for anyone whether they have flown before or not. Landing was smooth and a leisurely taxi back to the hanger where Craig showed us the go pro footage he took and such a bargain at $40 cash. It all wrapped up with a lovely debrief in the hanger with a drink. 100% would do again and recommend to anyone, regardless of flight experience.
I gave this flight to my husband as a surprise for his birthday. He was a little nervous at first which he got over quickly. He had no idea he would get a chance to steer the plan (full optional). It was very memorable birthday and Craig (the pilot) is very calm, knowledgeable and professional during the tour.
Flying in a Stearman has always been a dream of mine. It didn’t disappoint. Craig was awesome and made the whole experience unforgettable. He let me fly the aircraft and I loved the feeling of flying in an open cockpit biplane from World War II. Craig is also super personable. Thank you again!!!
Craig is an amazing, experienced pilot that made me feel super comfortable, gave me insane history on this ww2 beauty & getting the chance to experience this beautiful piece of history before they're all gone was amazing. Landed perfectly in a crosswind & paid perfect tribute to our men that flew these planes. Ps - buy the sd card from the go pro he offers!!! Totally worth the $45. Tbh, the ride was worth the $$ and more - fantastic experience. Great pilot - If this guy was my southwest pilot, I would book his flights every time. Amazing
Educational and professional. Lots of fun. Great for thrill seekers. I want to learn how to fly, it was a great experience.
