A Little Bit Of History
The American Barnstormers Tour was started by a group of friends and biplane pilots who wanted to salute the barnstormers of the 1920s who set out in their biplanes seeking fame and fortune across America. This biannual tour is a much-awaited event for aviation enthusiasts who make use of this opportunity to get a slice of the past – what with the pilots and the crew all dressed in period costumes.
The usual participants of barnstorming events are old-timers who have been attending such tours for decades. A large part of the fun in coming for the fly-ins is that you can meet some old friends who live and breathe antique aircrafts and are so knowledgeable about it that sharing stories and tips with them can make the whole journey seem worthwhile. The flying experience, of course, is the other part of the fun – and the irreplaceable one. Flying in vintage aircrafts make the experience an even more authentic one by taking you back in time to the 20s and 30s.
But, with our barnstorming event even people who are not familiar with aircrafts are given a chance to explore and learn more about these beautifully crafted airplanes at these events. They are given guided tours to understand the history and legacy of these period masterpieces. What better way to learn history than this! And for the adventurous souls around, a ride in an open cockpit biplane would be the most exhilarating experience ever. Parade of flights will also be organized in which all airplanes will participate.
