I've met this 'Oldie' in the Zeeland, The Netherlands, airspace. ('Oldie has a double meaning to me: for me a well known 'guest' and literally an old plane as well).

This 'Oldie' (developed in 1934) is a Boeing/Stearman N2S-3 two-seater biplane.

8,400 of them were built for the US Air Force and the US Navy as a primary trainer.

Because of its colors, it got the nickname 'Yellow Peril'.

PS: because of the not tilted flaps, one can see that it's performing a horizontal flight now. The by me used vantage point may indicate something different however.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Picture perfect again SEA.
It looks beautiful against the sky. Perhaps the peril is that it lulls you into a feeling of euphoria before it attacks.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
