| 1942 Boeing A75N1 Stearman |
Over 10,000 of these airplanes were built during the 1930s & 1940s. They were the mainstay of flight training for the US Military through WW2. The Stearman has appeared here a couple of times.

Imagine learning to fly in one of those Stearmans, Mom & Dad come to see you get your wings pinned on, then the next day they tell you go fly that P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang, or F6F Hellcat. Yikes!
Or you could even get a B-17 or B-24 bomber, a big jump from that Stearman.
I have a few hours in one. It's close to the most fun that I've ever had with my clothes on.
"GORGEOUS!!!!" airplane!! only got to fly in once... but.. you know the drill...
