​Our new WACO YMF-5 "Clara Rose", which seats TWO passengers up front, has joined the Legacy Biplane family and is actively flying! Our website has a new look, we've added videos & reviews to our "Photos" page, and added the ability to pay online. Additionally, our pilot Brian has earned the honor of being designated by the FAA as a Pilot Examiner! This means that he is now authorized to conduct practical tests and issue successful applicants their pilot certificates!

Our beloved Stearman "Sweet Caroline" is still in Florida this season for restoration, which is coming along beautifully, so stay tuned for her big reveal this fall & the debut of her historically accurate NEW PAINT SCHEME! Until then, you'll get to fly "284", a beautiful, award winning 1942 Navy Stearman (see our PHOTO's page to see them all in action).  

​

NOTE: Please be patient as we continue to have some phone issues that prevent us from receiving (even blocking) some customer calls, as our main number has been inundated with spam and scam calls. To be safe, please TEXT AND EMAIL us to ensure we get your messages and questions.  â€‹â€‹

​Keep checking this page for updates! 

She's here, come fly "Clara Rose"!
The beauty and grace of aerobatics in the Stearman!
