PT-17 Stearman

Saturday was a lovely day out at the SoCal CAF hanger in Camarillo. My only regret is that I spent all day on the ground and none of it in the air.

In addition to the CAF aircraft in the hanger and on the ramp, you can often see other antique aircraft out there. Many (not coincidentally) are owned by CAF members.

This absolutely pristine Boeing PT-19 Stearman is owned and flown by Dr. Randy Sherman, one of our members and pilots. On his way home he was…

Let me tell you, THAT‘s the way to commute to the office!
