Notes: This plane is a two-seat primary WWII trainer painted in Army Air Corps colors. The official name is the Boeing Model 75, but the commonly used term is "Stearman." The Navy version (Yellow) was known as the "N2S," the Army version "PT," and the Canadians termed it the "Kaydet." This particular Stearman was received by the USAAF on 7-30-41, and was assigned to the 52nd Flying Training Detachment, Albany, Georgia. In January of 1942, it was transferred to 63rd FTD, Raymond/Richardson Aviation, Douglass, GA. In November of 1944, it was sent to Camden, SC and disposed as surplus. IAM's Stearman gives the most popular and pleasant ride over the Valpo area consisting of an open cockpit/wind-in-the-face experience at a speed slow enough to enjoy viewing the countryside and Lake Michigan.
