Stearman Boeing VN2S Wings


This is a Stearman/Boeing VN2S which was the primary trainer prior to and during most of WWII. Production began in 1936 then in 1938, Boeing purchased Stearman Aircraft Corporation thus the dual name. This may be the world's most produced biplane with some 10,400 produced. After they were retired from military service, many survived in civilian hands as crop dusters and forest service aerial firefighters. I have to say this is one fine-looking aircraft. And I'll bet it is fun both to pilot and to enjoy the ride as a passenger.
