The Spirit of Adventure, I

Birthday photo, day 1 in the sun. This was the 50th Waco YMF-5 built by the factory, in 1993, in Lansing, Michigan.

The Spirit of Adventure, II

Built in 1994 to replace #1 which was destroyed in a freak landing accident. My instructor was the pilot. I was not in the biplane. No one was hurt. This #2 biplane was used for the European tour in the book.

Home: Mikie's Fun House, v 2.0

In Borrego Springs, CA. This amazing home was the product of a fantasy I had: To have my biplane in my bedroom!

Biplane over the Baltic Sea

Somewhere near Denmark. It's easy to get caught up in the beauty, and get lost!

Italy, Lago Maggiore,

At the foothills to the Alps, some of the most spectacularly beautiful flying on earth!

The White Cliffs of Dover

Crossing the English Channel. Immediately after taking off from France, the biplane was engulfed in a thick fog. I climbed for what seemed forever to escape it.
