This is another new Bi-plane from the Fly-In that was held here in my town on June 1.  A neat plane from the 1940s with a cute paint scheme.  The owner and plane were here from Oklahoma I believe.

This is another image from the Fly In that was held this past June in Junction City Kansas.  This is a beautiful Great Lakes Bi-plane, well restored.

I decided to share a photo from this past year's Bi Plane Fly In as I realized I had not shared many.  This is a beautiful Waco Bi plane and is not restored but is newly built.  The Waco company is still producing this type of aircraft.

I took this image of another of the Waco Bi-planes that came to the annual Bi-plane Fly-In held at the beginning of June.  Waco is apparently producing planes and I didn't get any info on this one so not sure if it's new or restored.  It was a beautiful example whichever.

The National Bi-plane Fly-In was held a couple of weekends ago in my town.  This is the 6th year for it I think and this plane has been an attraction in several of them.  It's a beautiful 1929 Waco, formally owned by Mohawk Airways which used it to fly honeymooners over Niagara Falls.

This is another image that I took at the annual National Bi-plane Fly-In that is now held in Junction City Kansas on the first Saturday in June.  It turned out to be a beautiful day this past one and Bi-planes were in the air giving rides and then a bit of a show.  This is one of the planes that gives rides, a beautifully restored 1929 Waco built for Mohawk Airways in New York.

So warmer today with a bit of a surprise rain this morning.  I'm glad that wasn't snow.  My image today goes back to the first weekend in June and the annual Bi-plane Fly-In that has been held in Junction City, KS for the past several years.  A fun event and a chance to see some vintage aircraft.  These bi-planes were doing a bit of stunt flying at the end of the day that I was able to capture a few shots of.  They were simulating a dog fight and the smoke effect really added to it.

Well, the heat is back.  Yuck.  Humid too.  Here is a Stearman Bi-plane close up that I captured at the Bi=plane Fly-In in Junction City.  Love these planes.  They were Navy training planes and several have been restored and are still flown.  Some give rides.

Well, I'm back in the heat.  It was 75 F at 6:45 am already.  I miss Minnesota where it was only in the low 60s at this time.  So my image today is another from the flight and smoke display at the Annual Bi-plane Fly-In a couple weekends ago.  It was really fun to watch them buzz the field and put out the smoke trails.

6/7/16

Saturday was the Annual Bi-Plane Fly In here in Junction City, Kansas.  Our weather the week before it had been great so there were a good amount of planes there.  At the end of the show, several planes took off and did some acrobatic flying with smoke trails.  That was quite fun.  This is 2 of them which I believe were Stearmans.

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood."  I may be showing my age with that quote.  :-)  This is another version of an image I shared a while back.  I had done a B&W version and this is the color.  This is a Mohawk Bi-plane that came to the Annual Fly-In held in Junction City in June.  Fun times and cool planes to see during the event. 

9/8/15

Well it's travel day for me so thought I would share a travel photo.  I wish we were going by plane but have a long drive ahead.  This image is another from the formation flying during the annual Bi-plane Fly-in held in Junction City in June.  As you can see one of these is not like the other but it made a nice formation.

8/25/15

Well, August is sure going out nicely.  I like this 50s in the morning and then only 80s in the afternoons.  I could take a whole summer of this.  :-)   Anyway, today's image goes back to one of the Bi-plane Fly-ins that are now held in Junction City, Ks every year in June.  I took this image of this 1929 Waco Mohawk's engine because i was impressed with how pristine it looked.  Very shiny and clean even though the plane is flown.

7/21/15

It was only in the mid 60s this morning and it was glorious!  Only going to last for a couple of days before the heat returns but I will take it.  It was a refreshing morning for once.  I'm taking a break today from vacation images and going back to a shot from the Bi-plane Fly-In that was held in Junction City Kansas in early June.  This is a close up of a Stearman B-plane that I decided to do in a monochrome style to make it look more vintage.  They are former navy planes and are quite nice to see still flying.

6/30/15

Wow, it's the last day of June already.  Going to be hot as well, mid 90s.  Yuck.  I took this image back in the early part of June when we were having rain and cooler weather.  This is an image from the Annual Bi-plane Fly-In that was held in Junction City, KS.  This Mohawk Bi-plane is owned and flown by a local car dealer.  He was giving rides to the public in order to raise money for an aeronautics group for young adults.  At the time this picture was taken he was changing passengers.  I decided to give the image a different look and process in B&W with a tone.

6/23/15

This image is from the Bi-Plane fly-In that was held here a couple of weekends ago.  This is from one of the several formation flight demonstrations that they did at the end of the show.  As you can see, there is an impostor in there but it made for a nice formation.  :-)

6/16/15

This is another image from the Bi-plane Fly-In that was held in Junction City a couple of weekends ago.  This plane was flying around putting on a show and sending out smoke trails like the one I was able to catch here.  It made for an impressive show.

6/9/15

The annual Bi-plane Fly-In was held in Junction City, KS this past Saturday.  It was a smaller attended show because of the very rainy weather we have been having but it was very nice.  At the end of the day there was a demonstration of formation flying with 3 of the Bi-planes and then 3 single wings.  Formation flying is difficult due to the air currents produced by the wings of the planes but they did a great job and it was very fun to see.

This is an image from this past June on the day of the Bi-Plane Fly-In that takes place annually in Junction City Kansas now.  Not many planes were able to come due to the stormy weather leading up to it but the day turned out to be lovely with great temps, a light wind and a lovely sky.  This is an image of one of the planes taking off for a flight around the area. 

10/7/14

This was a photo i took at the annual Bi-plane Fly-In held this past June in Junction City, KS.  This is a beautiful 1936 beech Staggerwing.  It was in pristine shape and one of the few bi-planes that made it due to bad weather that weekend.
