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.

Today I had the privilege to fly with this beautiful plane, which was built in 1943
The Stearman is tanked up right after the show. The last thing you need is running out of fuel when you are on top of the wing I guess. It is surely not your typical fuel station employee :-) (picture 2782-2).

Ce biplan biplace aux lignes dépouillées était de construction mixte, les ailes étant en bois et entoilées, et le reste constitué de tubes d'acier soudés généralement entoilés. Le train d'atterrissage fixe possédait une roulette de queue et les atterrisseurs principaux étaient équipés d'amortisseurs hydrauliques comportant des ressorts carénés. Le PT- 17, dont pas moins de 3510 exemplaires furent produits au cours de la seule année 1940, était pour sa part propulsé par un Continental R-670-5. Il y eut en outre 18 exemplaires de la version spéciale PT-17A de vol aux instruments, et trois PT-17B de désinsectisation.
