Vintage Airplanes

Stearman Biplane

In the 1930s and '40s, this biplane was the standard trainer for pilots in the US Army and Navy. Later, these planes were used as mail carriers, for agricultural flying such as seeding and dusting crops, and for amazing acrobatic airshows.

Harvard T6 – Military Trainer

The North American T-6 two-seat advanced trainer was the classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in World War II. In all, the T-6 trained several hundred thousand pilots in 34 different countries over a period of 25 years.

Stinson V77 – Gull Wing

The Stinson aircrafts were not war-machines but were used to train British military personnel in the arts of navigation, radio communication, and aerial photography. Built tough to lead a rugged life, many of them did just that and were used extensively "in the bush."
