• 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.

On my way back from the 2004 biplane fly-in at Bartlesville, Oklahoma, I took pictures of this airplane at the Double Eagle airport just north of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The locals said it has had a very checkered life coupled with setting outside for some time. Several people have tried to buy the airplane but the owner apparently wants way more than what its worth. Please note the high performance exhaust system as well as the flat tires and rotted off cockpit cover. It is such a shame to see this sort of thing happen to any airplane and especially a Biplane.
