![]() Our flying adventures have become a little soggy lately with the June rains in Iowa. With the longest take-off roll ever, water splashing all around, and plenty of praying on my part, Brian got the Stearman into the air and made it to higher ground before the Saylorville flood gates were lowered and flooded Y76 (Morningstar). We are now considering the fun we could have hooking floats onto the Stearman. CommentsLeave a Reply | Welcome to our virtual hangar AuthorsBrian and Rachel Aukes are aviation nuts based in Iowa. They love to fly, and when the weather keeps them on the ground, they love to talk about flying. When they aren't in the air, Brian keeps the airplanes running while Rachel cleans them and keeps this website running. ArchivesJanuary 2012 |
