Perhaps one of the world's most famous biplane training aircraft will participate in the static display at International Sanicole Airshow at Hechtel-Eksel in 2025: The Boeing Stearman.

The Stearman was one of the most widely used trainers before and during World War II and it thus played an important role in preparing the Allies in the run-up to the liberation. It is a very pleasant aircraft to fly with excellent flight characteristics that are both forgiving and require precision, ideal for a training aircraft. It also ensures that it is still a popular aircraft today among fans of classic aircraft, and it’s always a hit with fans of large radial engines.

Thanks to Safety Jogger and Stijn De Jaeghere Aerobatics, you can see this flying legend in the colours of the US Navy and coming from Ostend upclose.
