Add a few bonus ones again. Oh, forgot to mention the Cessna "Bamboo Bomber" Bobcat as well.

Much obliged. I need as many shots of wire attachment points as I can get. Why oh why did I buy bi-plane?

You're welcome! BTW I'll be going to the new museum once a week until December so if you want something specific for reference on the Stearman, I can try to see If can get into the hangar for more closeups. No promises though as I don't know about access outside of the new building, but I can try...
