Antique Airplanes Blog
Our Antique Airplanes Blog is more a mini-journal about where we've found antique airplanes than it is a daily blog. We will use it to...
- Let you know when we add new web pages to Antique-Airplanes.com with tips on where to find 'em, see 'em, fly 'em.
- Let you know when we have to update information on a page.
- Let you stay up-to-date with news we've found around the web about vintage aircraft.
It will let you know when we add a page to let you share your antique-airplanes stories with us or when we add a contact-us page. It will take us a while to get all the stories written that we want to bring to you.

Wright B Flyer Lookalike Crashed
So sad about the crash of the Wright "B" Flyer lookalike and the death of the test pilots. The Wright "B" Flyer organization promotes aviation heritage in Dayton.
It was their newer "Silver Bird" that crashed. They were developing this second flyable lookalike which was scaled to fit into a standard cargo container so it could travel to airshows around the world. They were still trying to fly it for the 40 hours needed to get it certified. It crashed after 25 hours of flight time on June 30, 2011.

Wings Over Camarillo 2011 is August 20-21
Summer is so full of air shows that you have to pick and choose. We're trying to get to some new places and old favorites as well.
Last year was our first visit to Wings Over Camarillo. It's a great air show... and we were amazed at that "modified fur ball" they have as their finale. This August you can get the chance to see it for yourself. Mark your calendars... we are.
