    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.

Contests are all about getting there and getting back. Sucked in by a rosy forecast I blasted across the Cascades in NW Wash at 9000' expecting a "little" cloud to hug the mountains from the ocean side. Didn't expect to spend an hour marveling at how well the engine ran or whether the ATIS at my destination was going to go from scattered to overcast. Nothing to do but sit, so I pulled out my Blackberry and took a video.

That mountain at my 2 o'clock is Mt Baker at 10,500'. Tops of the overcast were around 8000'.
