• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. 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.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. 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.

My wife and I had the opportunity to attend a D-Day event at the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot, ND last evening. They re-enacted painting invasion stripes on the C-53 Duchess of Dakota. After that was complete they gave some veterans a ride while being escorted by a Spitfire and P-51. They also had a "Beer from Above" event where they re-enacted hauling beer to the troops in kegs mounted to the hard points of the P-51. After the planes landed they tapped the kegs and members of the club got to enjoy the beer! It was a great evening and the volunteers at the museum put in allot of work pulling it all off. Thought you guys might enjoy some pics.
