Boeing Stearman - G-BTFG/N4467N -
A Brief History
The Boeing Stearman was used as a
primary training aircraft by the U.S. Army Air Corps and U.S. Navy
before and during WWII. As far as possible we have traced the roots
of our Stearman and we believe it to be a U.S. Navy variant, Model
A75-N2S-4, built circa 1942/43. The aircraft probably remained in
military hands well into the 1950's.
The aircraft entered civilian hands in 1957 and
remained in use until late 1966/ early 1967 when it was taken out
of service. In 1971/1972 the aircraft was rebuilt as a crop duster
and remained in service until 1981. A further rebuild was completed
in 1986 and in January 1991 the aircraft was disassembled and shipped
to the UK where it has flown privately until the recent purchase
by TG Aviation. The aircraft is now on a Public Transport CofA and
is available for Trial Flights. For more info on this aircraft click
