N500F is the
prototype. In
this picture, I'm flying the airplane in mid-1988. That's Mount Rainier
in the background. If it looks familiar, it's because Boeing shoots a
lot
of jetliner pictures with it as a backdrop. |

This isn't a Fly
Baby...it's
Story Special N1338N. Pete was part-owner of this plane when he
designed
the Fly Baby. |

A
Fly
Baby with a cowling and wheel pants...this one was built by Cliff
Phillips,
and is now owned by Aziz Musa . |

Charlie
Harp of The Sisters, Oregon bought this biplane from John Taye in
2004.
It was built by Robert Hall in 1984. |

Here's
Art Blodgett's two-seat
Fly Baby. He's got a sliding canopy now, instead of a gull-wing
type like in the older picture. The
panel has full gyros! This airplane is now for sale. |

I'm
sorry, but this picture from John Swift just gives me the
giggles.
Is John passing the train...or is the train passing John? |

Brian
"Brain" Kisenger bought Jerry Gardner's

Fly Baby 2009 . Gardner had won several "People's Choice" awards
at
Fly-Ins. |

Gene Fisher lives in
Otis
Orchards, WA, and built this Fly Baby in 1972. The canopy was done by
GeeBee
Canopies of Puyallup, WA. Just fifteen minutes down the road from my
place,
in fact. The photo was passed to me by George Jarrett, who's just
getting
ready to start building his own. |

Here's
a
good in-flight picture of Don
Hoover'
s nice little Fly Baby. He provides more information in the
Builders
page. He's given this airplane to his good friends Charlie and
Steve
Gay. They've brought this airplane out of storage and have it
flying
again [April 2004]. |

Troy
Lust's Fly Baby is a show-stopper.. Notice the cosmetic work on the
vertical stabilizer, making the plane look more like a 1930s
fighter.
He bought this plane from Bob Grimm.. |
