Nice. The upgrade to 450hp was very common, and makes the stearman great as
a cropduster and for aerobatice. With 225, better for primary flight
training.

I saw this airplane fly a tight pattern and land for fuel, so I wanted a
photo. According to the pilot, it is a recently finished restoration, 11
years in the making, and sports a Pratt & Whitney R-985 of 450 hp instead
of the original 225 hp.
