How about enjoying a flight in a lovely civilian Boeing Stearman for a change...
...wind in the hair, flies in the teeth, oil on the goggles...
Dragged the Stearnan out of the hangar at Livermore, (KLVK), to get it re-fuelled...


...while I indulge myself with a nice salmon and cucumber sandwich, and a hot cup of tea, courtesy of Mr. McDonald....


Just drool over that fabulous Continental, 7 cylinder, radial motor...

(..don't talk to me about "jet engines"..)..


..and the pilots limited view from the cockpit...but who cares..


Up, up and away, a-heading for the 'Frisco Bay*....


Cheers all...

Paul.
