To Both of you: I had a wonderful flight. I thank you for being in the business of flying customers in vintage aircraft and I thank my wife, Deena for giving me this gift on our 33rd anniversary. I love old aircraft and it was wonderful to see this Travel Air in such fine shape. This is my first flight in a non-metallic covered aircraft. I am going to tell my firefighters about this wonderful experience and hopefully you will see them also. I don't know if you will remember my son being there but he flies in an F-18F Super Hornet and he was marveling at your plane. I hope the City of Gulf Shores knows what an asset you are to their community and I hope your business prospers so you can add more vintage aircraft in your flight schedule. Thank you for the experience.

Respectfully, Dave Hitchcock

My daughter and I enjoyed a great flight in your beautiful biplane yeasterday from the Fairhope airport. Thanks for making such a wonderful experience availible so close to home. My father flew with the USAF for 27 years, all over the planet, and has never been up in a biplane. Next time my folks come down, we'll be sure and contact you for another ride!

Best, Tom Belina Daphne, AL

Bar, we really enjoyed our flight. I must admit I was a little afraid of flying in an airplane built in 1928, but I figured you did it every day so you probably took really good care of your plane.

Hope you enjoy the sunset pictures.  (Click here to view photos.) Let me know if you decide to use them. I thought you might get a kick out of this picture of Lori as we took off.

June 2006 - This note and photograph came from two recent visitors.  While Mike has a family connection with aviation and biplanes, we find that every one of our guests is touched in some special way by their flight.

Anne and I just want to let you know how much our experience with both of you meant, from paying up to flying up.  The moment we drove up to ask about your service and saw Bar wiping the engine, we knew we were in good hands.  The flight was especially important and enjoyable to me, having heard my deceased dad tell stories about his flights in the Jenny with the OX5 engine, and also the Travel Air.  Dad was a member of the OX5 Club, and we baby sat one of the OX5 engines in our garage for a couple of years.  He started flying at Love Field in Dallas when it was literally a pasture.  Needless to say, the flight was instrumental in giving me a feel for what he must have experienced in the 30's.  Thanks again for a beautiful experience. 

Mike Spalding and Anne Witt.
