Happy to make a "Kodachrome" of some living history. In WWII, Skagit Regional Airport was a Naval Outlying Field so seems only right in 2015 there was a US Navy trainer back in the sky from Skagit Regional.
Going through my archives and found somehow I didn't publish some Stearman images from the July 2015 Heritage Flight Museum (HFM) Fly Day so here you go. For more photos from that fly day - www.flickr.com/photos/avgeekjoe/albums/72157653738731323
Next HFM Fly Day is 16 July 2016. Hope to see you there!

This N2S-1 Steaarman was once flown by President George H. W. Bush when he was a naval cadet training at Naval Air Station Minneapolis in 1943. In this shot, we get a flyby of the aircraft. The aircraft is part of the new Wings of the North Air Museum at Flying Cloud Aiport in Eden Prairie, MN.

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.
