Me in the cockpit of a 1942 Boeing Stearman PT-17 Kaydet (A75N1) N56914. At the time owned by Tim Cox, El Cajon, CA. Currently owned by John S. Hodgson, Genoa, NV.
One of the most-produced biplanes in history, the N2S served as the nation's foremost primary trainer during World War II. Though nicknamed the Kaydet, the airplane was more commonly called the Stearman after its manufacturer, and was much beloved by military and, later, civilian aviators.
Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS and N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years, they became popular as crop dusters and sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows.
In late 1933, Stearman engineers Mac Short, Harold W. Zipp, and J. Jack Clark took a 1931 Lloyd Stearman design, and added cantilever landing gear and adjustable elevator trim tabs, to produce the Model 70. Able to withstand +12g and -9g, the aircraft was powered by a 210-hp Lycoming R-680, first flew on 1 January 1934, before flight tests were conducted at Wright Field, Naval Air Station Anacostia, and Pensacola. The Navy then requested a similar model built to Navy specifications, including a 200-hp Wright J-5 engine. The resultant Model 73, was designated NS-1 by the Navy, of which 41 were ordered, including enough spares to build another 20 aircraft.[3]
In the summer of 1934, Stearman engineers refined the Model 73 into the Model X75. The Army Air Corps evaluated the plane that autumn, powered by a 225-hp Wright R-760 or a 225-hp Lycoming R-680. In July 1935, the Army Air Corps ordered 26 with the Lycoming engine, designated the PT-13A, while the navy ordered an additional 20. In August 1936, the Army ordered an additional 50 PT-13As, followed by another 30 in October, and another 28 in December. Simultaneously, the company received orders for its primary trainer from the Argentinian navy, the Philippine Army Air Corps, and the Brazilian Air Force. In January 1937, the army ordered another 26 PT-13As.[3]

This year marks the Centennial of Naval Aviation. What are you doing to celebrate? I'll be doing what I do best. Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this image of my good friend, John Leenhouts' US Navy N2S Stearman taken on a flight over Green Cove Springs, FL. The former NAS where Ed McMann trained Corsair pilots during WWII was less than 5 miles away. Wish we'd gotten it in the background.

Really was happy with most of my photography from the 16 July 2016 Heritage Flight Museum Fly Day. The light was quite good towards the second half...
