Stearman PT 13 - "Exclusive Interview: F15 Pilot Takes on Stearman Biplane"
The Stearman PT-13, also known as the Boeing-Stearman Model 75, was an American biplane primarily used as a military trainer aircraft during the 1930s and 1940s. Here are some key details about this iconic aircraft:
Design and Development:
In late 1933, Stearman engineers Mac Short, Harold W. Zipp, and J. Jack Clark modified a 1931 Lloyd Stearman design to create the Model 70.
They added cantilever landing gear and adjustable elevator trim tabs.
The resulting Model 73, designated NS-1 by the Navy, featured a 200-hp Wright J-5 engine.
The Navy ordered 41 NS-1 aircraft, along with spares for 20 more.
In 1934, Stearman engineers further refined the design into the Model X75.
The Army Air Corps evaluated the plane, which could be powered by either a 225-hp Wright R-760 or a 225-hp Lycoming R-680 engine.
The Army ordered 26 PT-13A aircraft with the Lycoming engine, and the Navy ordered an additional 20
Over time, more orders followed from both military branches and other nations
Variants:
The U.S. Army Air Forces used three different designations for the Model 75 Kaydet, depending on the type of radial engine installed:
PT-13: Initial production version with a Lycoming R-680-B4B engine (26 built in 1936).
PT-13A: Model A75 with an R-680-7 engine (92 delivered from 1937 to 1938)1.
Service and Legacy:
The Stearman PT-13 Kaydet served as a primary trainer for both the U.S. Army and Navy from 1936 to 1945.
Although commonly known as “Stearmans,” they were actually built by Boeing after the company acquired Stearman Aircraft in 1934.
After World War II, surplus PT-13s found new roles as crop dusters, sports planes, and even in aerobatic displays and wing walking during air shows3.
The Stearman PT-13 remains an enduring symbol of aviation history, having trained countless pilots during a pivotal era
The Commemorative Air Force (CAF), formerly known as the Confederate Air Force, is an American non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas. Their mission is to preserve and showcase historical aircraft at airshows, primarily in the U.S. and Canada1. The CAF has several locations, including airbases, wings, squadrons, and other unit types. Here are some key points about the CAF:
Aircraft Collection: The CAF boasts one of the most comprehensive warbird collections in the world. They acquire, restore, and maintain combat aircraft flown by various military services of the United States and selected aircraft from other nations. These historic planes are preserved for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans
Membership: You don’t need to be a pilot or veteran to join the CAF. Colonel Membership is open to all men and women aged 18 and older, while Cadet membership is available for ages 13-172.
Events: The CAF hosts various events throughout the year. You can check out their upcoming events to experience meticulously restored World War II aircraft in person. For example, there’s the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit, which preserves and shares the inspiring history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first Black military pilots
Living History Flights: Many of the CAF’s aircraft are available for Living History Flight Experiences. Imagine taking a flight in a vintage warbird and experiencing history firsthand
Support and Donations: If you’re passionate about historic aviation, consider supporting the CAF. You can donate to help honor those who built, flew, and maintained these remarkable aircraft
Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, history buff, or simply curious, the Commemorative Air Force offers a fascinating glimpse into the past through its impressive collection of flying warbirds

Always loved the look of the Corsair. Thanks for the walk around!
Beautiful!
some descriptive fact of interest like the plank socket location and etc., tell your photographer to get tripod or a monopod and soften the music . gave up at 4:49
So cool how the camera frame rate makes it look like the props are barely turning. The noise must be horrendous when those things are going full throttle. Although they'll never be as loud as a B-52. It'll shake your insides when those roll by you on the ramp.
Dad was combat camera with the B29s of the Twentieth Air Force, am pretty sure there's a black and white snapshot of Fifi's nose art in the stack of pictures my sister currently has, along with the nose art of a lot of other B29's, shots of the island, and some aerial shots of Japan. I have his scrapbook of his time in combat camera before he left the states. The only story I remember, and I post it every time there is something about B29's with a comment section, is about one of the crew rituals. Apparently the facilities is not much more than a can. The flight routine that the crewman that used it first had to empty and clean it on return. Unless someone had the trots, it would normally be quite a few hours before someone gave it. At that point the pilots had to crank the elevator trim to adjust for the whole crew rushing to the tail at the same time.
Amazing video. I'm your fan.
This is a huge deal for sure. I'm surprised though that air taxis aren't already a thing in big cities. Nonetheless, this looks so promising. I will be flying this in flight sim for sure.
Thanks for commenting. It felt like I was there filming when the wright brothers first flight with this Volocopter. Share my channel on social media if you could
who is the girl at the beginning?
Awesome B1 Bomber 4K video here. THANKS TOMSAVIATION
That thing is going so slow, it might fall out of the sky. If it went too fast it would knock you out.
Gorgeous 😍
Where is this?
eerie how quietly this thing approaches
Yes Yes Yes i will
Good-looking birds.
That bird is beautiful... and the chicks were pretty nice too!
NICE !
My grandfather flew a Corsair in the south pacific including Tarawa, Pelielu, Pavuvu, and more. His squadron commander was George "Pappy" Boyington.
Cool Grand Father History... Thanks for watching and comment, share my video so I can get subscribers ...thanks
Im a fighter pilot and i fly an F22 And that plane is nice i hope fly it nicely and lucky and also good luck
Saw Shockwave live many years ago...pretty cool.
The most boring video I have seen !
My favorite bird too. Wish I could fly one also.
We think alike....thanks for comment...share my channel so I can get subscribers...
This plane looks like a vulture.
R.I.P., Joe Tobul!
Wow awesome
I love the looks of the classic warbirds. I got into flying the rc P-47 razorback and F-16 thunderbird. Nice job and best of luck Jewels! Aviation is a great hobby and possibly career!
Appreciate the comment.. Wait to you see the f 22 tower fly by video....Just like top gun -share it around....
For me too it is the best fighter plane of the Second World War. Even my dad was lucky enough to fly the f 4u Corsair during the war, he is the best, without taking anything away from the p51 mustang and other planes. ciaooo
Thanks for commenting, have very very cool videos posting now like f 22 raptor control tower fly by. share the video around
Great Efb
is it not just cool
Love the PC-6, however I thought they were not legal to fly in the US?
One helicopter that I would love to own is the Bell UH-1D "Huey." Beautiful Helicopter, plus it has cargo capabilities!
Love to learn on one one day
I'll be following the progress of this as many others will be, I imagine. Deciding if I want to buy an ipad or stay with android. I own an IFR Bonanza
Thanks for showing us! I’m looking into Garmin Pilot, Avare, FltPlan, WingX, and of course Foreflight and trying to decide which to choose for IFR training!*
Would love to fly in one

I purchased a Stratus ESG and am very disappointed in this system. It uses a stratus ADS-B IN RX which is locked out for all EFPs except foreflight. It is not a ADS-B IN unless you use that EFP. I am having the ADS-B RX removed from my plane as I still have to use an external ADS-B IN RX, no way to display weather or traffic without paying $200/yr for a foreflight subscription. Stay away from this transponder unless you don't want any options for a EFP. Good luck with your upgrade, hope this helps.

Well, it seems pretty clear that Piper is jumping on the 'Daher TBM' bandwagon with a cheaper, lesser quality and MUCH slower knockoff with less payload and range than the TBM 930. If you're going to try to copy your competition, you should at least make an effort to bring something improved to the table instead of 'inferior but at a cheaper price'. Comparing an M600 to a TBM 930 is like comparing a Chevrolet Spark to a Porsche 911. Yes, they both do the same thing but in a VERY different way and yes, you get what you pay for, as with most things in life.
Interesting comment. Differences are that much? You analogy will send you to my other CZcams channel USClassicMuscleCars - need subscribers and views - thanks
Nice videos...but the roaring engine noise at the beginning is really annoying and is a big turn off. You might want to rethink your opening sounds track.
Appreciate the comment. when I edit sound it is on my headphones - so the level is estimated. Is it the same occurrence on my other channel USClassicMuscleCars
You don't seem too excited about the airplane. Nice review though.
Thanks
