For anyone that is interested, my friend Ken's father, Jerry, is featured in the December issue of Forbes magazine. (link requires free registration)
He has quite a little collection of WWII aircraft, and is probably one of the few collectors to use it as part of a profitable business.
If you've parused any of my picture pages, you can see some of the WWII aircraft the article talks about. Unfortunately, the web article doesn't have any photos.

FYI, that is Jerry flying in the back seat, and me in the front seat. The aircraft is a 1941 Navy Stearman, that was used as a trainer.

Did you get to strafe some enemy troops while you were up there? You know, for that realistic WW2 feel.

During a flight a few years ago however, we did buzz the decks of the aircraft carriers that were in port at Norfolk. Now adays though, (post 9/11) they'd probably start shooting.
Posted by: Ravenwood at December 12, 2002 9:55 AMIf you check out some of the photo pages, you can see photos of one of my other flights. Here is where we strafed the Navy base in Norfolk. Unfortunately, the photo taken just prior to this (of the large aircraft carriers) didn't come out too well.
