BAYVILLE, New Jersey -- If you've ever dreamed of having a birds-eye view of the Jersey Shore, you're ready for a ride on an authentic World War II biplane.

It's a ride where you not only sightsee, but you can also take the controls!

The plane takes off from the Ocean County Airport in Bayville.

The plane is named Cannibal Queen, and she is an open cockpit, Boeing Stearman biplane.

"This is old-fashioned, old-school flying. You just have to look on the horizon," says Jim Lonergan, owner of BiPlane Rides over New Jersey.

The plane flies along the New Jersey coast.

Riders can choose the 50 minute or the 75-minute experience.
