• 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.

Today while landing at one of my favorite little airports I had another pilot worried he would have to avert or possible run me over on his 6 mile final in a Cessna 172. I crossed over while announcing and quickly announced I was left base to a short final full stop. To which he replied, biplane did you not hear we are now on a 5 mile final straight in? I replied yes Sir, I heard you fine, are you having to divert? I think I threw him with that question, after a bit he came back in a aggravated voice, WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR YOU, to which I replied, I'll be the tiny biplane that just parked at the fuel point.
