As we were having "a week at the beach" I went along to Classic Flyers for a coffee with instructor, Pete and he invited me down to the hangar to see the new paint job on Stearman 03 - absolutely magnificent and just shows how faded the old paint job was. The Stearman has been "in maintenance" since late last year but, hopefully, will be in the air again quite soon
The photos say it all.......

is this the one you put your knee through?
ReplyDeleteYes, but that was a while ago (18 months) and had a patch job that time. This was a fairly major overhaul of the airframe (wings off, etc.) and a complete strip down and repaint.
