They're from San Diego, California, and San Antonio, Texas, both before and after WW1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Those are pretty awesome. You can certainly see the early love of flight those guys had on their faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaiber Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Great pictures of what looks like an awesome collection. Reminds me a lot of the New England Air Museum: https://www.neam.org/ Except, they don't have a HA-1112! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 N2S Stearman. When I get back home this weekend, I'll post a picture of the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 As promised. Although a World War II trainer, the Stearman performs like a World War I aircraft. Cruise is 85 mph. Sticking you arms fully out into the slipstream makes you wonder how the gunners back in the day ever hit anything. J5_Hotlead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
