Walked right into a stop sign while looking up.
Damned Stearman pilots, always causing trouble.
No damage, though I did have my view of the airplane obscured for a second.

Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

Frank,
You better report this, there must be a form for this type of "accident" and somebody whose income comes from processing all the related statistics!

Sounds like a mid air collision to me , Are your sure it was a Stearman and not a Preadator Drone ?. Better notify the Federal Agravation Administration. Immediately !.
Thanks for the explanation Frank. The general public would have thought you were texting.

You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

Sounds like you ground looped that stop sign. Or rather it ground looped you!
I have had similar incedents all my life!
Why are you blaming the Stearman pilot? Sounds like the stop sign was the cause of the accident. They put those darn things just anywhere.....
Cheers,
