The aeroplane in the picture is a Stearman. Designed in the mid 20’s by Lloyd Stearman and flew in 1927. The business was sold to Boeing in 1934 and that model was later used as a military trainer for WW2 pilots. Over 10,000 were built. After the war they were used extensively for cropdusting. I have no idea just how many are still airworthy today but they are a coveted model.
I had to look carefully to identify the type because it first appeared as if it may have been a Grumman AgCat of which I once had 3 and I think they are great. The straight wings identified it where as the Grumman has dihedral. ie wings rise towards the tips and this provides stability. I will endeavour to print a picture of both. I said endeavour because I have a different type of computer and I am not all that familiar with it. After an hour and a half I got it.
