New to The Bird of Paradise family of barnstormers is a 1940 Taylorcraft BL-65. The two-seat Taylorcraft is an enclosed cockpit single passenger monoplane that served as a basic trainer aircraft in the 1930s.  In the Taylorcraft, you'll sit right next to your pilot as he shows you how it’s done. The enclosed cabin also keeps you a little warmer in the winter months.

Gift Idea - Consider a Bird of Paradise gift certificate.  (If you give a biplane ride as a gift, there's always the chance the recipient will invite you to go along.) Gift certificates are good throughout the year, in case you'd rather fly in warmer weather.
