"Hovering" today in a 1948 Fully Restored Stearman Open CockPit Bi-Plane

One of my customers wanted the High end of his home washed today...
In return he took me up in his fully restored war plane a 1948 Stearman open cockpit bi-plane in mint condition.
Not only did he take me up but for most of the time he let me fly the plane from the front seat.
After we landed ...he asked if I wanted to take his small Piper plane for a ride......Sure enough when we got up there he let me have the controls on that as well.
Very fortunate to have customers like that....he was a jet fighter pilot for the Navy and a retired commercial pilot.
Today was a day that I will never forget!! :grinning-moose:

I corrected the spelling for you Al...

Very cool indeed. I would have jumped at the chance to do that. Sweet!
