Even tho in the main the same planes get posted here over and over again, somehow it never gets old.

Indeed. The "F" variant is probably my favorite—very clean—before they started getting lumpy with all the add-ons.The BF 109. Them were some seriously cool looking planes from way back in the day.
My favorite aircraft for no other reason than I served as an engine mechanic for a unit that flew these planes. I LOVE the sound of huge reciprocating engines firing off...
Here you go!
Stearmen... Thank you SO much!! I went to tech school at Sheppard AFB... and a phase of our training had to do with those 4360s being mounted to some trailers...
There is a fellow here in town who has a shop... 'Air Repair'... restores Strearman aircraft... he is a master...
Again.. thank you for posting that link!

I've been doing some digging recently because we are going to Berlin and would like to go to the place where he was, but the factories are long gone from what I can find.
So if any of you aircraft enthusiasts knows anything?
