TAF reports are finished and ready for testing if any pilots are
interested.

Someone here was asking about flying time in a Stearman biplane.

I talked with Damian DelGaizo at Andover (NJ) Flight the other week,
and he now has a Stearman on line, in addition to a Super Cub and an
L-4. It is available for dual. I'm not sure about solo.

As noted at the time, the Stearman at Hampton NH has been sold. It's
still on the field but I don't think is available for instruction at
this time. When it was used for training, that one was dual one, per
order of the insurance company.

Waynesville OH had a Stearman you could get dual in and solo.
You had to have your own liability and hull, though.
Some people were buying their own hull coverage for the summer months,
then cancelling for the balance of the year.

John,
They still have the Stearman, and yes you can solo in it after you get
checked out in it. Rental Insurance is a must!

Wow, it's always interesting to see different prices in different parts
of the country. Near Phoenix, AZ, at the school where I worked, a C152
was $63, the least expensive C172 (an "M") was $85, the C172SP was $105
(and I understand it has recently gone up again), and the SuperCub at a
nearby school is $80. Flight instruction is $45/hr.

Those are really reasonable prices. I'm also impressed with the variety. The
only folks around me that I know of with any real variety are a club with some
rather hefty monthly dues.

Yep,
See why I drive 5 hours to go fly with them? Before it's all over I
will fly the Stearman and will do spin training as well. Just simple flying
at it's best, a grass field in real good shape,...and close enough to
"things to do for the family" Pretty much decided to get checked out in the
Cub after I get done with the Champ. I sure can't find anywhere cheaper, and
I sure can not find those planes to rent within a days drive
