I've some never posted images of my series 'People In The Air'. Therefore and because it's to me a relatively dull time from photographic point of view, I've uploaded this one.

The image was taken in August 2016 in the air near Zeeland Airport, The Netherlands.

Depicted is a Boeing/Stearman N2S-3, developed in 1934. 8,400 of them were built for the US Air Force and the US Navy as a primary trainer. This one is the N74650 (US Navy 586) and was built in 1943. Because of its colors, it got the nickname 'Yellow Peril'.
