Lee Fox has been flying planes for over 50 years. He started as a teenager and later made a 40-year career flying passenger jets for American Airlines. But the job he now has- flying a 1942 PT Stearman bi-wing plane — is one of his dreams.

“I’ve got close to 40,000 hours of flying time, and this thing is a handful. It’s one of the toughest airplanes I’ve ever flown. Every time you fly it, you say, ‘Fly it until it’s in the hangar with the door closed because this has a mind of its own.’ It’ll want to run off on you,” said Fox.
