Prices are totally acceptable in pursuit of writing aviation stories! And for other reasons, too. My dad was so pleased to have that experience of flying a real plane.
I've seen a Stearman at the RAAF museum near Melbourne. Nice planes, and, like the Tiggie, as close as we're likely to get in the 21st century to the real WW1 deal... I once emailed that museum asking about WW1 aircraft fuel, expecting maybe a volunteer would reply in a week or so. Got a response from the Director within half an hour, to which I replied slightly incoherently, thanking him profusely. People are so kind!
