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!

This is a scan of an original kodachrome slide. It was scanned with an Epson Pro V750, and finished up with very minor post processing work in Photoshop. The default size of this image is 2000x1250 pixels.

The original comes from my own slide collection, which contains both my own photos and those acquired over the past forty or so years collecting.
I began uploading photos into this Flickr photostream to create a home for the slides that have been part of my collection. They deserve to be enjoyed by the aircraft enthusiast community as a whole rather than being tucked away in boxes and binders. Think of it like an old time aircraft slide show but for the 21st century.
Comments are welcome.

At an air show at Phoenix Deer Valley Airport in April, 1978. Ex-Navy aircraft painted in Army colors.
Scanned from a slide.
Decided to make a black & white conversion, especially as I can create more color contrasts via color tonality. Sure am happy with how this rising Stearman came out... and happy to announce this guest star to Heritage Flight Museum events is going to become a regular. All in good fun!
Photo is from the 17 October 2015 HFM Fly Day. Please visit the album for more photos please. I take and share these photos for your entertainment and hopefully inspiration.
