Come Fly Away ... A biplane ride near San DiegoOn a recent trip to southern California, a friend and I took biplane rides from a company called Barnstorming Adventures (see link to their website below). They fly out of Montgomery Field, which is in the northern suburbs of San Diego. The flights were in vintage biplanes that dated to the 1920's. They began life as Travel Air 2000's, fitted with inline engines. They have since been fitted with more reliable radial engines, and as such would be considered to be Travel Air 4000's. They are painted in the original factory color scheme of navy blue and orange.
I have tried to map the course of my own flight with the "map this" feature. The two planes flew close together part of the time, and separately part of the time. It was great fun, and I highly recommend this to any of you planning a visit to the area. Check the company out at:

The company offers a wide range of flights, not just in biplanes, but also in an SNJ-4 'Texan' (a WWII advanced trainer) and in Varga VG-21s (for simulated aerial combat).http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Places-Far/Come-Fly-Away-A-biplane-ride/sm-TravelAirflight09-03-21005/574273066_X9YtW-Ti.jpghttp://arctangent.smugmug.com/gallery/8690975_S85e3/2009-06-27T10:29:09ZCopyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
