• 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.

I saw a 1929 Travel Air 4000 today and fell in love. I remember seeing Travel Air biplanes at the Biplane Expo in Bartlesville but always thought some were wood fuselage, thought they were $$$$$ rich guy “classics” and not very much performance etc compared to a Waco UPF-7 or Stearman or the like. Well the one that sold in Tulsa auction today certainly didn’t seem like “my granddads” Travel Air. It looked racy and sported a 300hp Lycoming. It was really eye opening to the type. I always loved the Pepsi Travel Air also. Just looking for more info on the type. The one below NC9831 sold for only $64k!

Hope this was taken during a take off!
