• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. 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.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. 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.
