Boeing Stearman Aircraft
The Boeing Stearman (Model 75, the PT-17/N2S Kaydet) is the iconic American primary trainer of WWII — a rugged radial-engined biplane with open cockpits that has become one of the most cherished and flyable warbirds. Strong, honest and endlessly characterful, Stearmans are flown for fun, airshow, formation and barnstorming, with a deep support and parts community. Many have been re-engined (Continental, Lycoming, Jacobs, or larger radials) and restored to a high standard.
