I didn't know there were so many in NZ (3 at this event alone!). I had seen a deep blue coloured one in the past, about 1985, had a hand crank high speed flywheel to start her. A lovely sunny day makes for nice pics!  |

There are eleven Boeing-Stearman variants on the NZ civil register at the moment, A massed flypast would be cool one day.

Certainly a great scene in Tauranga these days. And yes, the Boeing Stearman is one of the GREAT classics in my book. As a basic/primary trainer, at least the Americans got the feel of a big round engine straight off. Must have been closer to the feel of a Texan and maybe an easier transition, than say from DH82a to Harvard?  Certainly there's a Stearman in my Lotto Hangar! |

There would be one in mine too.Great photos Ykato, thanks for posting them. |
