Douglas,

Since the photo of the Fleet biplane caught your attention, I would like to 
present two other beauties from the same fly-in in 1970.

First, an early Waco cabin biplane, whose exact designation I do not know.  
It is not quite as colorful as the Fleet, but is still quite representative 
of aviation in the late 20s and early 30s.

Secondly, a Beech Staggerwing biplane owned by the host of the fly-in, and 
still just as perfect today as it was when new.
