What the?! That this is pretty cool looking. Kind of like a Boeing F4B on steriods.

[TonyM]

Awesome. What a cool airplane.

[Invader26]

Awesome...

Beautifully built. Where does she live?

John is up here in Oregon City and has been flying the 'Ghost Ship' for a few years now.
Loosely based on a Stearman is correct has it's most new built from scratch and goes up like
a ____ed ape! John's been flying and restoring antiques for years along with building Stearman
wings. You can google big sky stearman wings and see all the cool stuff on his site. Dang nice
guy that John!! He made a super airshow Stearman called "Captain Cloud" a few years back.
What a machine but don't know where she is now............

I think it looks rather like a Curtiss F6C-4...especially the downward slope of the fin/rudder.

It was scheduled to be at the NW Biplane Fly-In this year but went unserviceable at the last minute. I was really looking forward to seeing it.

That thing is cool! Really looks the part in that scheme. Love it.

[robkamm]

I wonder how much work it would take to turn a Stearman into a Polikarpov I-15?

[N3Njeff]

I like it!!

[TXCOMT]

Awesome aircraft!

Whitewalls? How about dual red-lines instead? Those would work great with those wheels! Can you tell I've got a '66 Mustang awaiting restoration?

A Polikarpov!!, now thats cool, not sure the gull wing would work out too well.Would also have to move in the gear to make it a super narrow track and make it more "sporty"

O.K. a Polikarpov I 152. The one without the gull wing.
