Hi,
My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum!
Does anyone know of anywhere in Florida (Tampa Area) that does Vintage aircraft (Stearman, Tigermoth) or Warbird Pleasure Flights?
I am trying to organise a 40th Birthday present for my brother who will be in Florida during the month of September.
Any idea's will be greatly appreciated

Fantasy of Flight
You might check with Fantasy of Flight Musuem in Polk City, FL. That is Kermit Weeks' new place after hurricane Andrew blew away his facility ( and half his airplanes ) in the early 90s. They may not do rides per say,but they should know who does. If you are in the Tampa or Orlando area it is a great place to go for the day. I especially like the engine room, he has one of about every engine ever made for airplanes, including 70 ( count them, 7 0 ) brand new - still in the crate Allison 1710 engines. The flight simulators are fun as well.

Well,
I think that North American Top Gun is in FL. somewhere
I flew with these guys earlier this year (at a remote location, Ohio) in their T-6 texans and we did aerobatics and I even got to
fly a couple of stunts.

Maybe, this isn't the kind of plane your looking for but they might know other places to try calling.

Hi,
I found a Stearman out of Winterhaven (KGIF). I would like to say thanks to Eric and Margaret Shipley from Wings and Wheels
