Stearman (and others) in the snow

[JohnB]

A friend just posted this, a professionally done video featuring a pair of heavily modified Stearmans flying in the Pacific Northwest.

They're a matching pair featuring a raised turtleneck with canopy, a cowled 450 engine, 4 wing ailerons and 30s-era USN paint...they look a bit like a fixed-gear Grumman F2F.
Pilots/owners/builders are Addison Pemberton and Randy Ingrham.

Some nice shots of a WACO Custom Cabin and a great and rare (with only seven flying) Stearman Speedmail.

Those are COOL. They look like T-6 windscreen and canopy combos? Very neat machines, they look like fun!

Yes they are T-6 parts.
Both front cockpits have metal covers to make them look more like a fighter. RefoRmatting shop has been flying for years, the Ingrham example was just built.

Both are named after their spouses.
The "unit" numbers are the spouse's birthdays.
Nice touch.
