Airborne over Petit (poetry in motion)

Boeing Stearman ZU-IES takes to the sky for the first time in 40 years

ZU-IES Waiting for her maiden flight 

Ivan doing his final checks

Rainbow to welcome her to the sky

Almost ready to go 

Strapping on the parachute 

Final before photo

Start-up 

Airborne for the first time in over 40 years 

Beautiful  

Pure poetry in motion

Back on the ground 

Very emotional moment 

Bubbly time 

A bit of champers for the Stearman too

The Crew that made it all happen 

Spectators

What a Beauty

Stearman in all her glory
