Courtney Hale Caillouet captures some of the best photos of me flying the New Standard. Courtney has been one of those special friends who never hesitates to jump in and help with whatever is needed to keep the spirit of barnstorming alive.
This beautiful **1930 D-25 New Standard**, affectionately known as **"Full House,"** is one of only eight flying in the world today. I gave her that name because she can literally carry a house full of people on her shoulders—four passengers at a time.
From young kids experiencing their first open-cockpit flight to adults reliving aviation's golden age, everyone is welcome aboard.
Full House is also unique as the only Continental-powered D-25 flying today. Her seven-cylinder radial engine produces 220 horsepower from an impressive 670 cubic inches, delivering the unmistakable sound and character that make these aircraft so special.
Every flight is a chance to share a piece of aviation history, and friends like Courtney help preserve those moments for future generations.
