Check your local airport, most discovery flights are less than you'd pay to take a date to the movies.

    Here in Port Townsend, we're really lucky. There's a pilot named Summer Martell who owns a fully-restored Student Prince, a tandem two-seat, open-cockpit biplane. When she's not flying private jets for her clients, she offers rides in her biplane to paying customers. I was fortunate enough to have been given a ride in her plane years ago, and I can tell you, a loop in an open-cockpit plane is a real thrill!

    This airplane is a tad over-equipped to call it getting away, but I'm comfortable with this stuff. Once you get into IMC things change so fast that it motivates me to build better, faster, and more reliable solutions. Certainly puts things in perspective regardless analog ain't so bad.
