Wild stuff. My interest in aviation of course started with airlines at LGA growing up, but I see shots like this and it makes me want to hit the road. I love the sounds that planes like this make too. Keep it coming!

Great variety! Must ask about the Stearman. Are there many there? I have a belly shot of a Stearman in similar markings, flew over us in Singleton in June 2006. Perhaps its the same?

Mirrodie: The Stearman lives 10 minutes flight time from Serpentine. It lives in the rural
suburb of Mundijong, I have seen only about a 4 or 5 Stearman's here in WA over the
years, they are a beautiful looking machine. I'll see if I can find out any more details
for you and let you know.

Thanks for viewing! Hiflyer
