WHAT'S NEW: UPDATED 1/2/2026

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have a number of exciting things happening for the 2026 season! Our Stearman "Sweet Caroline" is spending a few months down in Florida getting a facelift! Stay tuned for her big reveal later this summer! Until then, you'll have the exciting opportunity to fly in another gorgeous, AWARD WINNING Navy Stearman (see photo below). There are also plans to possibly introduce a new biplane to the fleet, more on that as it develops! Unfortunately, we continue to have some phone issues that prevent us from receiving (even blocking) customer calls. To be safe, please call and leave a voicemail, but ALSO email us at info@legacybiplane.com to ensure we get your messages and questions or to inquire about our GIFT CERTIFICATES!  ​​
