I guess we are losing quality here... Surprised not one WIXer has posted anything about the BIG Stearman gathering recently. One of my favorite posters over on the AOPA forum posted this. It's likely to be gone soon, so watch it while you can.

Of course, I guess it would've been better quality if it had been N3N's (nods to Jeff).

Enjoy!

A great fly-in as usual. We were hoping to get 200 ships, but the weather to the east and southeast prevented a number of pilots from making it in. 130+ made it though, not bad.
