My Dad flew a Stearman during flight training in Georgia in 1942. As I write this I'm looking at his USAAF leather flight helmet hanging about four feet from me. Thanks for posting this.

I attended Johnny Dorr’s crop dusting school in Marigold, MS in 1980. We flew the Stearman with the Army Air Corps paint job like the one in your video. I sold my Harley Sportster to afford the school. One of my greatest adventures. Thanks for the memories.

Enjoyed the walkaround. Just a suggestion: checking the tailwheel assembly and rudder and trim cables underneath the tail is always a good idea. And a mention of pulling the prop through looking for hydraulic lock is good as well. I understand the Mid America flight Museum is top notch. Thank you for a great video. Really liked the "airport" dogs! Thank you. Mike Kelly "Old School" CFI and A&P "Keep 'em Flying . . . Lest We Forget"

I love Stearman's! I've flown on the top wing of one in England which can be seen on my KZbin channel.
