Great Lakes Biplane Replica

I visited the Stearman Fly-in in Cottage Grove this afternoon and was really impressed with this Great Lakes Biplane Replica built in 1996. The owner flew up from Roseburg and stopped to fuel up. I enjoyed visiting with him briefly. I really love the plane, certainly a favorite of mine.
The Waco Great Lakes biplane was the model Tex Rankin, Carol's great-uncle and world champion stunt pilot, flew for many of his stunts. What a plane!

Great capture ,Vern. My son-in-law has not long obtained his licence to fly small planes and I feel sure he will drool over this when I show him...V

Great photo of this beautiful plane. I like you included the owner in the image, adds scale.

Wonderfully red color

Beauty in red.

Very pretty. The swept wing and off-centre air intake are very reminiscent of the DH Tiger Moth - in fact I thought it was a derivative until I checked. Looks like fun.

I remember Tex Rankin, and what a beautiful aircraft. This must have the Ranger engine in it.
