i looked up the tail # and its a 1943 Boeing Stearman in Kansas now. Pretty neat how you can look up stuff like that

Wow i just looked it up and it is still registered in my grandfathers name. He moved here to Kansas in the 70's and he passed away in the early 80's. There was a tornado in the late 70's that came threw and totaled 4 or 5 of our stearman's. This must of been one of them for it has never been re-registered since his death.

Thanks for the info on that

where is this vid filmed from?

[cropgun58]

All the dusting was done in mississippi.  Where at in miss i dont know. Towards the end of the video when you see the stearman's with the liquid systems on thats all in New Mexico doing sage brush work.
