One of the most recognizable WWII trainers ever built the PT-17 Stearman "Kaydet" flies on into the 21st Century. Designed originally as the Model 70 by Lloyd Stearman, the design was adopted by Boeing after it bought the Stearman Co. The Kaydet trained many of the aviators of WWII in their early days as pilots and soldiered on after the war as a popular recreational and agricultural aircraft. To book a ride on the Stearman please e-mail us or call the manifest office and let them know which day you would like – Friday, Saturday or Sunday.Tentative plans include adding a T6. The North American AT-6 Texan won wide acclaim as one of the most used advanced trainers not only during WWII but also beyond. Our AT-6F Texan is a perfect example of this post WWII use as it is restored as and is painted in the colors of the Korean War "Mosquito", a low-level support and target identifier aircraft used to support the faster jets of the period.
