WHAT'S NEW: UPDATED 3/31/2024

 

We are pleased to report that Sweet Caroline, our beloved Stearman, is running beautifully and we are excited to be open for the 2024 flying season. We have begun flights and are taking reservations. Please be patient with Spring bookings, as it can be a fairly windy/bumpy time of year to fly and we want you to get the most enjoyment from your time with us. While it may look beautiful outside, the airplane has wind limitations. If we must reschedule due to winds, or any inclement weather for that matter, you will not lose any value! We'll put you right back on the schedule at the next best date. Keep checking this page for updates and be sure to check out the FAQ page for more information.
