My brother was outside taking pictures of the kids yesterday when this flew over his house. Thought some of you might enjoy. I told him to copyright that pic!

Bet you'd never guess that that is a Boeing Aircraft !!! Commonly referred to as a Stearman.
You're right AM I didn't! I figured someone here would know what it is. Thank you!

That airplane was the primary pilot trainer for the United States military prior to World War Two.
We have a couple of those in good condition and still flying around here.

They are EVERYWHERE !!!!! There are many that have even been "fitted" with radial engines that came out of TANKS !!!!!
That's a very long story.
Here's a link he found

My uncle used to be part owner of one that looked a lot like that. I got to fly in the front cockpit a couple of times, that was an awesome ride. Great pic
Air I was just imagining what it would be like to fly in one of those. Maybe some day, seems like it would be pretty awesome.

AM sure knows a lot about it, I wonder...Jump School....Fort Benning...Fryar :)
We have one down here. It's owned by a midget broadcaster, who has no idea how to fly it. He's crashed her twice and made one E landing because he didn't check the weather forcast. You think you'd notice a giant cloud bank on the sat!
