    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

As of today, I am the proud owner of a 1942 Boeing PT17 or commonly known as a Stearman. I traded my beloved L-19 Bird Dog for this gem because I have trouble passing a good trade. I am currently in Quakertown PA where the Stearman has been based, to see my warm blooded transfer pilot off tomorrow morning. Yes it will be cold, but I have done my best to outfit the pilot in a heated vest, socks, Arctic mittens, Thinsulate gloves, shearling helmet, scarf and a snowmobile suit.

With luck and skill, the Stearman will be in Texas by Sunday.
