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. |

Here's Art Blodgett's two-seat
Fly Baby. Note the rather nice canopy |

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? |

Jerry Gardner's armed-to-the-teeth
Fly Baby . He's won several "People's Choice" awards at Fly-Ins.
More information is given in his writeup in the Builders page...look under

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.. |
