We stopped at Torrance Zamperini Field today to visit the Western Museum of Flight. While we were there, a neighbor to the museum had his hangar door open and inside was this beautiful Boeing-Stearman vintage biplane. I paused to take a couple of images to merge into this 3D shot of the aircraft.

If you don’t have a pair of 3D glasses, you can see the 2D version here.
This is Wikipedia’s summary of the Boeing Stearman Model 75:
The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane, of which at least 9,783 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s as a military trainer aircraft. Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a Primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.
