Biplane Formation Flight 
 On 
    July 2, 2007, Gary Lust, Keith Roof, and Tom Snell flew a 3-ship formation 
    from Iowa City to Amana Airport -- and I was lucky enough to ride along! 
Gary flew his classic 1929 Travel Air, Keith flew 
    his "new/old" P6E Hawk replica fighter, and Tom flew his 1941 Stearman 
    biplane on a picture-perfect summer evening to the quintessential classic 
    air strip in Amana, Iowa..  The intense green of the lush midwestern 
    countryside, combined with the warm temperature and the sounds and smells of 
    classic radial engines made for an absolutely magical evening.
