  • My First Stearman Ride...

    Just last Friday, after helping my boss with finishing up an annual, we went for a good 'ole fashioned Stearman ride! It was a real treat for me because I had helped with the whole annual, and I got to know the GORGEOUS airplane, and learned alot of how annuals are done, with compression checks ect... We did the annual as part of the deal, where the airplane was just sold to a very nice man in Nebraska, and Wayne (my boss) is flying the airplane out to Kearney, Nebraska sometime this week.

    Enough blabbering, here's the pics!!!

    The plane all torn apart...

    The Flight...

    The plane before we hopped in.


    Custom Panel, very nice! Note all of the silk-screened Stearman logos...


    All of the tents are in preperation for the Indy airshow...


    Stearman Outbound...


    My View...


    Geist Resevoir. That's where all of the rich people live (Colts players, ect.)




    Landing at Indy Metro...


    Leaving Metro...




    I like how the trailing edge and the point in the wing make a pretty unique shape here...


    Sorry about the dust spots, not a whole lot of editing.

    Hope you enjoyed!!!

    I dig it! Is that a Super Stearman with a R1340 in it? Looks sweet. I wish I were able to find a ride. I haven't been flying in more than 10 years. Nice pics by the way, and your wing shot is pretty cool.
