I have flown a stearman, and they are pretty stable. Saw a stunt pilot do a low level manuver at Oshkosh and he bought the farm. Risky business.

Yeah, but how stable is a 77 yr old brain. A one second blackout at that attitude and altitude.........not good.

I’ve been to the Stearman fly-in at Galesburg, IL, several times. Those folks have too much fun!

My husband is threatening to fly his Pitts in the Reno Air Races. I am adamant - NO WAY!!!

He knew Andreini and looked up to him. This is really awful.
