Join us for an in-depth look at Magic Air Tours’ 1929 Travel Air 4000 biplane. Owner Rod Magner gives us a complete tour of the aircraft’s exterior and interior, sharing the aircraft’s history and what’s he’s learned during more than 6,000 hours flying “Magic One.”
Rod Magner started Magic Air Tours back in 1991 with a 1929 Travel Air 4000 biplane and a simple passion for sharing the magic of flight. 21 years later he’s still at it on Washington’s Orcas Island, changing lives one artful flight at a time.

When career flight instructor Evelyn Johnson died last month at the age of 102, she had 57,635.4 hours, more than 3,000 students, and more than 9,000 checkrides recorded in her log book.
