This Stearman turned up in the Chino traffic pattern for just a single touch and go. Still, a welcome visitor.

Round engines, open cockpits, scarves in the breeze and that beautiful Sedona backdrop. Life is good. There was just enough heat in the air to make the wings look a little wavy. They both turned on the smoke just a second after this shot.

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75/PT-17 "Kaydet" is a biplane, of which 8584 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s as a military trainer aircraft. Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a Primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS1 & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. 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.

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane formerly used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. 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, sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows.
The Kaydet was a conventional biplane of rugged construction with a large, fixed tailwheel undercarriage, and accommodation for the student and instructor in open cockpits in tandem. The radial engine was usually uncowled, although some Stearman operators choose to cowl the engine, most notably the Red Baron Stearman Squadron.
After World War II, thousands of surplus PT-17s were auctioned off to civilians and former military pilots. Many were modified for cropdusting use, with a hopper for pesticide or fertilizer fitted in place of the front cockpit. Additional equipment included pumps, spray bars, and nozzles mounted below the lower wings. A popular approved modification to increase the maximum takeoff weight and climb performance involved fitting a larger Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior engine and a constant-speed propeller.

Boeing-Stearman N2S-5 Kaydet
Over 10,000 Stearmen trainers were built by Boeing’s Wichita Division, which had purchased the Stearman Company in the late 1930s. These Kaydets, along with Fairchildes and Ryans, served as the backbone of the U.S. Army and Navy primary training in World War II. The original U.S. Army Kaydet was the PT-13 with a 22o-horsepower 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 NS2-5.
This Kaydet was accepted by the Navy on December 7, 1943, exactly two years after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This airplane was flown to the Ottumwa, Iowa, Naval Air Station, where is was used to train naval aviation cadets until 1946.
