A common sight at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show is this distinctive aircraft offering biplane rides. The D-25 aircraft from 1929 was designed for agriculture and joy-riding uses, with only 45 produced. There is seating for four passengers provided in the open front cockpit of this particular model. Two D-25As that had been confiscated from smugglers were acquired by the US Coast Guard in 1935, and operated with the designation NT-2. Nikon D300 w/300mm.
