Looks like a giant Piper Cherokee with a Cub tail and canopy. Does it have a fixed pitch prop?

Is that an old acoustical stall horn I see on the cowling? That sure is one whole lotta lift to thrust airplane!

Very cool! I took the wife and kid to the WASP museum in Sweetwater, TX a couple of months ago. It’s in a hangar and contains a PT-19 and an open cockpit biplane trainer that I can’t remember the name of. They tell me that neither are owned by the museum, and that both are regularly flown by their owner (one was gone the day I took the girls). If you happen to be driving through Texas on I-20, I highly recommend that you stop and see the WASP museum- it’s a highlight for any patriot, airplane lover, or even lover of strong women!

That must have been a blast.
As kids, just a few years after WWII, we used to look forward to visits to the airport where we were able to climb in the cockpit of a T-6 "Texas Trainer" and pretend to fly that stripped down model. It was similar to the plane you flew but totally not airworthy. :o)

It looks like it has the Ranger inverted 6 cylinder engine.

Off topic item: Assuming that most here are interested in flying, an interesting read is this long piece in The Atlantic about the Air France 447 crash to the Atlantic and pilot error

Now go find a PT-19 which is the open cockpit version of what you just flew in and try that. That bird with the canopies is what the canadians flew in because of the cold weather.
