Well, then, http://wading-in.net/Coastalgallery.html

Not all OBX stuff, but a fair amount ;-)

I would SO love to try something like this, but I'm afraid the contents of my stomach on the nice pilot's windscreen might make it hard for him to see...

All the place names and terms in your comment trigger cherished memories for me!

Many years ago, I took the opportunity to go for an aerobatics flight in an open cockpit Stearman biplane at North Carolina's Outer Banks. Gorgeous day, flying out over Roanoke Sound to a position directly over Jockey's Ridge State Park, a few kilometers south of Kitty Hawk. Absolutely amazing experience - loops, hammerhead stalls, wingovers, the works, all looking down on the giant dune and the people learning how to hangglide far below. Pulled positive three gees and negative one (that's where the straps flew up in the video.) Coolest experience of my life, and I'd do it again in a second.
