Got to do something really unique today...fly both a 220 p

: hard to believe these machines are based on the same airfr
: ame. the 220 loses about 400ft in a roll and the 450 can
: actually climb through a roll. Both are great fun and I a
: m definetly hooked on Stearman flying. The Pemberton's, ou
: t of Spokane WA own a Boeing model 40 restoration project
: that is absolutely gorgeous...not to mention thier Stagger
: wing. We did a really complete acro routine in the 450...
