This airplane is the Boeing/Stearman N2S-3, developed in 1934. Since then 8,400 of them were built for the US Air Force and the US Navy as a primary trainer. More than half of all the American WWII pilots have started their career on such a plane. The former US president George H.W. Bush (Sr.) has achieved his pilot license on a N2S-3.
The depicted one, taken yesterday (August 6th, 2016) in the air near Zeeland Airport, The Netherlands, is the N74650 (US Navy 586) and was built in 1943. Because of its colors, it got the nickname 'Yellow Peril'.

Sharp shot of the airplane against a nice sky Cornelius. Details are very clear. The pilot and passenger can jumpt out anytime. Open like in a convertible without windshield?

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I wouldn`t have thought that they were trained in a biplane such as this but it probably gave them a good feel for real flying. A great photo here.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Seems like a noisy and bumpy ride.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
Stunning photo, I would actually love to see someone taking a photo of you taking a photo of this.... how do you do it? Perfect capture.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Crystal clear shot and colours - you sure can see the pilot looking over to see where's he's going
