Sad Looking Stearman

[Sabremech]

I was in Georgia this past weekend and saw a Steraman in the back of a hangar looking a little on the down side. It obviously has some history beyond being a Warbird. Here's a few pictures.

Those guys were so much fun and crowd pleasers, too bad the pizza still is crap-did you get the N# so we know which airplane it is?

Ed Newberg bought the last one just a few weeks ago and it's in slightly better shape. I'll post some pics tomorrow night.

Pizza or Stearman?

slightly vandalized?

What field was that at? At first I thought it was Doc Lail's airplane but I think his was pretty much totalled in a landing accident.

I can just say it was about 30 minutes South of Atlanta. I understand someone is interested in buying it and I don't want to inadvertantly mess things up. No N number as it must have been on the vertical stab that wasn't there. Also the data tag was not where it should have been. I was hoping to identify it.
Thanks,

It's a 450 hp Stearman...very desirable.
The cowl and prop alone are worth a good amount of money.

Depending on what shape the wood wings are in it could be a pretty straight forward restoration.

Don't worry, it's worth too much for someone to scrap.
It will find a good home...eventually.

It was an old banner tow plane back in the days for Red Barron Pizza.
I kept my first airplane at that airport.

Here are some pics of the Red Baron Stearman that was recently purchased by Ed Newberg and currently resides in the CAF hangar in Mesa Az. BEAUTIFUL!!!

I really want to say something but I think the title of the thread says it all.

Nice to see they have the "proper" flag on the back wall.................48 star

Oddball looking mainwheels on this one. Anybody know what they're off of?
