With my luck there would be a nasty surprise called power lines so I think I'll stick to the sky

Don't know why he called it scud running. No scud, just lots of fun.

I'd like to have seen what you would have done had that engine decided to puke out a valve or connecting rod.

@chubsmagoo probably land on that massive grass strip by the river on their right

Scud running - Just under the scud. This aint scud running! Beautiful flying shot though.

[stearman885]

@mustanglead , with 120mph, pull up, convert airspeed into altitude and land on the adjacent roadway. There is always a risk and there usually is a plan B. 

[mustanglead]

@stearman885 wrong reply mate.. Are you replying to clubsmagoo? Anyway pretty much what I'd do, conditions permitting!

[SgtRevan]

@stearman885 Finally someone who's smart!

[grimeuphoria]

Screw the scud, take her down and firewall it!! Good times!

[flyingjohn2005]

Must be fun!

[howyoudoin681]

for it to be scud running there must be clouds

[glennsgab]

great shot of river running but I didn't see any scud and if you've flown a stearmen you know what scud is. river runnin is why flying a Stearman is fantastic!
