Yellow Peril

The Stearman N2S-1 Bi-Plane was called the "Yellow Peril" for its bold color and use as a US Navy Trainer during WWII. This particular airplane is owned by Dan Kirkpatrick of Lawson, MO and was photographed shortly after restoration work.

 

Additional note: I originally thought the people in the background were a distraction from this shot. Then I realized two of the children were buzzing around playing airplane with their arms. These children have the potential to be the aviators of tomorrow, so they are the perfect complement to this former trainer.
