N3N Biplane Training Part 2 #Biplane #Biplanetraining #N3NTraining #NavalAircraft #Stearman #pilot

My Biplane Journey continues here with part 2. Hopefully you watched part one as this is the follow up to my first day. We start this video with where we left off in the last and then move through some dialog and countess landings. We start landing in a big field west of the airport doing laps in each direction similar to a crop duster pattern. One after another. IN the field we were knocking out landings about every minute with a crosswind changing sides for ideal practice. We then move to the paved runway where the wind is a tad stronger and the landings become a bit more "sporty". #Biplane #BiplaneTraining #N3NTraining #StearmanTraining #Stearman # Pilottraining As a recap from video one, this is where it all starts for me, here in Lincoln CA., with Andy Bibber. He owns a flight school and offers all sorts of instruction from basic private pilot courses to advanced specialty aircraft type training. This is where i'm starting my journey to fly a biplane. At this point I have never even been in a biplane let alone fly one. My knowledge here in the beginning is zero. It's at a preschool level. I have zero experience with radial engines and quite honestly I am extremely timid on all of the above. You will see me gaining knowledge by the second. The quest for knowledge and an educated opinion on what it is I'm looking for exactly is unknown at this point. All I know is that I think I want a Stearman but not having been in any of these old warbird trainers, I begin my quest for an educated understanding on what it is I'm looking for. I have had a balsa wood Stearman model hanging above my head since childhood from my grandfather. That same model now hangs above my sons head in his room today. Now at almost 51 years old, I'm finally in a position in my life to potentially own one of the historic aircraft but first, I must immerse myself in training and education. Here we go. Make sure to follow along here as we begin a mini series with "My Biplane Journey". We start here with the Navy version of the Stearman. The N3N. Its a much larger and heavier aircraft I come to learn and its a beast to fly! It's a joy like no other. I have a lot of respect for the pilots that flew these aircraft and those that are currently flying these aircraft today. In my next video you (not this one) you will see the progression as I then transition to a Stearman. I have a lot more coming for you.
