Hello everybody!
Can you suggest a good instructor/school for the Stearman17/ 75 series?
I have looked around but couldn't find many.
Many thanks!

Giulio.

Hello Samuel!
I'm gathering some info for a friend of mine who is in the process of buying a Sterman and base it in Italy.
He asked my help to plan his training in US.
I'll pass your advice to him then so that he decide the best option.
Many thanks!

Fly safe.
