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 Training and Trial Flights. For more info on this aircraft click
