In 2024, the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum brought the only known surviving Streetcar across the country for AirVenture 2024.  #aircraft #aviation #biplane #taildragger #warbird #vintageairplane #OSH24 | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation | Facebook

What are you doing today? Come on out and jump in the front seat of this beautiful vintage Stearman Biplane for some flying adventure! Beautiful day to fly! A limited number of flights available so come on out early and/or call the Museum to check on time availability. You can also beat the heat in our air conditioned hangars checking out our restored aircraft, memorabilia, history displays and even fly a flight simulator in our library. Tour the inside of "Miss Angela" our huge B-17 Flying Fort

Few things in my mind represent the true wonder of flight as well as the Stearman. Everyone who thinks of a biplane, first thinks of a Stearman. This classic 1930's design is a sight to behold in any environment, but is simply breathtaking from where it's happiest: in the air. As always, proudly shooting Canon equipment. Rich Aldrich was lead, Ben Littlefield 2, Frank Hoogkamer 3, Molly Littlefield 4, and George Clifton 5 (my perspective). | Fight to Fly Studio
