Bleriot XI, Collings Foundation, Stow, Massachusetts, USA. Although an original airframe (dating from 1909) this aircraft is not as old as the one at Old Rheinbeck Aerodrome in New York State, and both are 'younger' than the oldest flying aircraft in the world, the Bleriot XI of the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, Bedfordshire. This Bleriot has also lost its original Anzani three-cylinder engine, which has been replaced by a modern unit. #Bleriot #aircraft #aviation #museum #Stow #Massachusetts #USA #avgeek #CollingsFoundation #Anzani #engine

Boeing-Stearman PT-17 of the Collings Foundation, on the grass at Stow, Massachusetts. The Foundation owns a wide range of armour and aircraft exhibits, some of which rotate through its Stow HQ. This is a classic example of the US biplane trainer, on which thousands of Allied airmen were trained in the US during WW2. #Stow #Massacusetts #USA #CollingsFoundation #BoeingStearman #biplane #aviation #avgeek #WW2 #aviationphotography #trainer
