Anyone know anywhere in or near the Bay Area that has a Stearman
for rent (not necessarily solo) just on an hourly basis (i.e. no joining
fee plus monthly fee like WVFC)? The place I fly acro out of
(Attitude at Livermore) has this approach to the finances, but despite
occasional threats of getting one doesn't have a Stearman in its
forseeable future.

I thought it would be kind of fun to fly one.

There's the guy at SQL with the shiny red Waco. I think it's
$200/hour and he goes with you. (And I think it's a UPF-7, but don't
quote me -- there were a lot of Waco models.)

I don't have the phone number (It's painted on the bottom of the
wing.), but if he's not parked at the north end of the runway, you
might find him in the end hangar of E-row, catty-corner from Air West.
Or if you fly in at lunch-time some, of the elderly riff-raff at the
center counter at the Sky Kitchen in the terminal building might be
able to give you a steer. Or you could ask in the office across the
lounge from the Sky Kitchen.
