Over 10,000 Stearman trainers were built by Boeing's Wichita Division, which had purchased the Stearman Company in the late 1930s. These Kaydets, along with Fairchilds and Ryans, served as the backbone of U.S. Army and Navy primary training in World War II. The original U.S. Army Kaydet was the PT-13 with a 220 Lycoming R-680 engine. The only complete standardization of an Army and Navy production design aircraft during World War II was achieved with the Boeing-Stearman E-75, which served the Army as the PT-13D and the Navy as the N2S-5. Highlighted in this image is the vertical stabilizer of the Boeing-Stearman N2S-5 Kaydet.

The Stearman model 75, widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman (Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934) or Kaydet is a biplane, of which over 10,000 were built in the United States during the 1930s as a military trainer aircraft. It served as the basic trainer for the USAAF (as the Kaydet) and USN (as the N2S) throughout World War II and after the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.
Not the best, but like the prop blur here.
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!
