........taxiing out.......


.......swinging out towards 13.......


......almost on departure heading........


.....crosswind climbout - tide's out !


....downwind for a low pass........


........low and fast down RWY 13..........


Any ideas yet on what it is ?

It sure is a bi-plane... Tiger Moth? Stearman?

Great pictures... did you fly it yourself?

Ah, a real aeroplane. You lucky so & so.

It has to be a Stearman.

You lucky dog!!

 That had to be a blast!! 8-)

 Yeah, looks like a Stearman.

Good for you!! I agree; it's Stearman-ish. But  it's odd I can't see the "jugs" in that last shot... it doesn't have a full cowling, does it?

Hope you got some stick time in that front seat...

I'm going to go with either a beech Staggerwing or a Waco

That last shot is awesome Ken!  :o

I'm going to guess Stearman also...and what airport is that?  Reminds me of Washington State.  ;D

Unfortunately, I had to take along my old camera due to fears of it not landing in the same place as myself.....these shots were the best I could come up with during the take-off.....but.........there's more to come which will define the flight a little better.........


Thanks for the kind comments.........and yes Sean, it is has a full cowl, and a super-charger.......

Airfield is CAH3 on Vancouver Island

Ah! Vancover Island...not far from me on Whidbey Island, WA.  Come pick me up!  ;D

I'm going to go with either a beech Staggerwing or a Waco

NEMO! Have you had trouble with your head lately?

Did you not see how the first two shots show that the wings are in STANDARD position for a bipe and not a good position for a staggerwing?

Someone needs their meds stat!

I know it is not a "Tiger, Staggerwing, Waco or Great Lakes" Ken so I shall say it is a Stearman.

Congratulations and what wonderful shots of a great area and airport.  

Hope to be back their soon!  

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
