You know you're getting old when...

[Dave Stadt]

..... you remember your dad getting the family tickets to some airshow in Rockford in 1962 that had a bunch of home-built airplanes, seeing the original Red Devils (bonus points to whoever can name the original members) in their Stearmans...<< (that group that eventually became the Eagles), and getting a ride in a Tri-Motor :-)

...... you remember pitching your tent at OSH, ten years later, just on the other side of a snow fence along which was a line of tailed-in P-51s. I leave it to your imagination what happened to our tent when they started up for dawn patrol in the morning :-)

..... but I digress :-)

I believe you mean Pitts not Stearmans. They now hang in the museum entrance along with the Christen Eagles. Tom Poberezny, Charley Hillard, Gene Soucy.
