If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re traveling back in time, Vintage Air Tours in Rockport can make that dream come true by taking you to the skies in a historic aircraft.
A Ride into History
Vintage Air Tours, owned by Jeremy Bushnell, offers unique rides on vintage planes, including his prized 1943 PT-17 Stearman. As Bushnell explained, this aircraft holds a special place in aviation history.
Michelle Hofmann – KRIS 6 News “The Stearman biplane was one of the most produced aircraft leading up to World War II,” Bushnell said. “It was the primary training airplane, meaning it was the very first plane you learned to fly if you were training to become a military aviator in the 1940s.”
Vintage Air Tours recently expanded its fleet by adding the option to fly in The Navion. It was originally designed during World War II by North American Aviation. North America built 1,109 Navions in 1946–47, which included 83 L-17As for the US Army and National Guard.
