Florennes Air Show 1997

Post by TommyW »

Hi there,
I'm searching for the registration of a Boeing Stearman photographed during the Belgian AF Days 06.09.97.
The aircraft was parked east of the TLP ramp and showed no titles or anything else at all but "300HP" on the motor cowling.
It was mainly in white/cream colour with some small red stripes along the mid-fuselage. Fin also outlined in red as was the motor front cowling.
Wheels were covered with aerodynamic fairings, which you see on Stearmans not that often.
The scramble show report of this event only mentions military participants. So any ideas on the identity of this one?
Thank You and regards
Tommy

This could potentially be PT-17 (N2S-4), N62AG.
Have a look online to see if this is the one you're looking for.
