I was at a local airport once when an Ercoupe club flew in. It's cool seeing six or seven of these all together.

    Was driving south on I-5 several years ago near Crows Landing when a pair of Ercoupes came over the rise at about 500 feet. Neat surprise.

    They are beautiful.

    Every summer, and just last week, Mt Vernon, OH, gets a convention of 1930's Waco biplanes. All beautifully restored and flown regularly. Waco owners gather from all over the US, and spend 4 days schmoozing and showing off their birds. It's free to all. And some owners will offer rides.

      I went up in a Waco biplane (forward cockpit) years ago. There was a strip in Conway, NH that offered rides. What a gas.

    Those are cool little planes. There is a Mooney version at the local airport. I like the twin tail better.

    An old friend used to fly one, he said it was slow as could be. Just the plane for getting cross country hours.
