With the last day of summer looming, we took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday to hook up with a couple other Stearmanites. You may recognize our 450 on the right and the Sokos' Yellow Peril at show center. On the left, we joined up with Bart's Army Kaydet for the first time at the Storm Lake airport, which he runs.  We had fun doing some formation flying around the lake, and we're keeping our fingers crossed there will be many more nice days before winter hibernation.

A Stearman with training wheels? Nah, just a poorly planned formation picture. Although training wheels do sound handy...
