Lex has taken his
first hop (as the actual pilot, that is) in a
Stearman (as far as I can figure, it's a biplane with an open cockpit). Which appears to be a big deal, given the
smile on his face.
But then
xformed linked to this video. Which I just had to share.

As much as I hate flying, my fave experience was in a Stearman, much like the one Lex just flew. My FIL is a small craft pilot and several years ago had the opportunity to give rides in a Stearman that was about to be taken to FLA for retirement (along with its owner).
We went - The Oracle was one of the first to go. I steadfastly refused; I was the last man standing and finally caved. I'm so glad I did; truly an amazing experience. Open cockpit, just you and the wind.
Gorgeous.
Happy New Year to you! Blessings in 2010.
