Why become a Subscribing Member?

In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).

Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Many of you have probably heard about the fatal P47 accident in the Hudson River.
There has been almost no mention that the pilot was the former lead for the Iron Eagles Aerobatic Team as well as former chief pilot for Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
Appeared to be an excellent job of getting the airplane down under control but unfortunately Bill did not make it out of the airplane.
