From July 5-29, 2018, the 2018 American Barnstormers Tour undertook a 5-city, 5-state tour through MO, IA, SD, MN and WI.
The 2018 American Barnstormers Tour exclusively featured 10 vintage Travel Air open-cockpit biplanes. Five of the biplanes will function as static displays at each venue, with owners and restorers available to answer crowd questions. Five of the biplanes offered ride experiences to tour attendees.
The goal of the tour was to extend fellowship, to bridge a gap between the modern-day and aviation history, to allow folks immersive flight experiences in the biplanes, to draw communities to their local airports, to tell the story of the modern-day barnstormers through documentary filming efforts, and to act as ambassadors to the vintage aviation community.
Aero-News caught up with the American Barnstormers Tour at AirVenture. Their story is today's Aero-TV feature.
