Hi everyone,

We are selling an awesome 1942 Boeing A75L300/Stearman 450. This airplane is available for viewing at the Milwaukee Timmerman Airport (KMWC), and is in excellent condition. Runs like a top, flies straight and true, and is a head turner no matter where you go. This airplane is in the Experimental category for ease of maintenance, parts etc. There are other Stearmans flying with the same mods in the Normal category. Contact me via my cell: 218-280-2615 or email (gavin at springcityaviation dot com) to set up a showing. Would consider a trade for the right 172.

Is that the one Bob Buzzell had and was selling about a year ago?

450 Stearman, what a ride!
Had one for many years and they never lose the “wow” factor.
This one looks excellent. Wish I had more hangar!

More hangar would be nice, more cash would be better .
Definitely beautiful

Bump for a large price reduction; this airplane last flew on 11/6 and is in excellent condition. Would trade for a nice 172.

Thanks,

Flight aware shows the last flight down in Florida back in January. Is it a Midwest plane? Still in Milwaukee?

Thanks!

Hi John,

This airplane is sans transponder, so I am guessing any flights showing up on flightaware with this tail number are due to an error of some kind. This airplane last flew last week, and is based at KUES, Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Thanks,
Gavin

That’s a fine looking Stearman. I know nothing about this particular one and am connected in no way but can say from personal experience after flying 450s for a couple thousand hours that almost nothing compares to them. Really nice ones like this appears to be seldom are available.
