  What a rare opportunity it is to take a ride in an open cockpit vintage biplane. The experience is truly a large step back in time to the early days of flight. My wife and I did this and it was nothing less than thrilling. The plane has only two seats, one in the back for the pilot and one in the front for the only passenger, directly behind the propeller. We flew, not so high, over the beautiful mountaintops of Pennsylvania, heavily forested, and circled over the historic Kinzua Bridge/Viaduct. The views were spectacular and the feeling of flying with the wind rushing by was exhilarating. If you are lucky you will even see wildlife on the ground, deer is common but bears are there too if you are very lucky to catch them in the open. And the pilot even allowed me to take the controls and fly the plane for a short time, like I really knew what I was doing! Throughout the flight the pilot/owner Bruce Klein provides an informed commentary on the history and operation of the airplane and of the surrounding scenery through an intercom system. This adds greatly to the overall experience. For anyone who seeks and enjoys adventure this ride is a MUST.
