The Classics Boeing Stearman Model No. 75 Biplane Trainer
When you think of some of aviation’s classic aircraft in American history, one of them has to be the Boeing Stearman 75 Biplane that was used exclusively as a trainer during the 1930’s and 40’s. This aircraft was manufactured in the heart of America, in Wichita, Kansas. This plane was developed just after F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote his great Novel, The Great Gatsby, in 1925. The Stearman has that Gatsby look.
The Stearman was used by the U.S. Army Air Corps and the U.S. Navy as a trainer that trained pilots who fought in World War Two and, it is still is in use as props in movies and television shows. In the Television Show JAG, Harmon Rabb, Jr., in one of the episodes, flew the Stearman. Simply a beautiful aircraft. And if you are going to have a photograph with such a classic, you have to also wear the classic A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and aviators sunglasses. There’s no substitute for the US WINGS® A-2 Cape Buffalo Leather Flight Jacket and the US WINGS® Sunglasses.
I Always keep the US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and sunglasses handy for those rare occasions, like we had in Charleston, West Virginia.
I use to perform flight patrols in the 206 Bell Jet Ranger, featured below, wearing the US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and Sunglasses that was a must, that I carried in my flight bag always.
While on a trip to New York City, to catch the New York Yankees AL Division Playoff game with the Minnesota Twins, we landed at Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia, for refueling. Where we taxied our Beechcraft 90c, there was parked on the tarmac a Boeing 75 Stearman. No one can pass up an opportunity to have their photograph taken with such a classic, like the Stearman, especially one in this good of condition.
Lucky for us, we had our US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket and the TOPGUN CWU-45P Jackets with us. Don’t leave home without your US WINGS® Jackets. I usually travel in either L.L. Bean® blue jeans and khaki shirt, or with a starched L.L. Bean® oxford blue button-down shirt and khaki pants, that I have my neighbor who owns THE CLEANERS® in Flowood, MS, professionally dry clean and starch these for me. When it comes to photographs, nothing makes for a better photograph than an blue jeans and khaki shirt or starched oxford, starched button-down shirt and khaki pants. It adds the crisp, sharp look to the shirt.
Taking the Classic Photographs, Perception is Essentially Reality
I realize that we live in a time where casual dress codes are the norm. I don’t have a problem with that around the house. But when you are traveling, you need to give a conscious thought to your attire. Remember, photographs last for generations; and you want to present yourself in the best light as possible. Clothes make the person for those classic photographs.
One key to any classic photograph is a jacket, and the US WINGS® A-2 Leather Flight Jacket adds that classic look. Particularly, the Cape Buffalo Leather Jacket that has that old world, antique brown feel that give your photographs that patina look. A classic example are the three photographs below, with the classic Boeing Model 75 Stearman and the US WINGS® A-2 Cape Buffalo Flight Jacket.
The next best thing in the photograph, besides your attire, is your destination. When traveling to New York City, who can’t pass up classic steaks, like at The Capital Grill. It is a favorite of ours with their dry-aged steaks and fresh sea food. Lucky for me, I can have two bonus meals per week that are above the Weight Factor based on my 925-MET Diet Plan and still maintain my weight. That is another secret about classic photographs. The healthier you appear in the photographs, the better the photographs. I lost 55 pounds on my 925-MET Diet. And this was after I retired at age 55. In these photographs, I’m 62 years old. I credit my 925-MET Diet Program and my fitness program that I have followed since I was 12-years old.
Healthy weight makes your clothes look and fit better. The camera isn’t kind when it comes to photographs. The camera lens can add, what appears to be five pounds extra, to your pose. The key is finding that pose that allows you to obtain the best look. It is a good idea, even for the person who isn’t in front of a camera, to have test photos taken to see that classic look you want to have.
Remember, these photos will last for generations, so present your best side is essential. Please use photograph above to link to my 925-MET Diet Program where I lost 55- pounds in 9 months after age 55. Better yet, I have kept the weight off going on seven-years.

The CASPER Fitness Program that I have used and followed since I was 12-years old, this is my YouTube Video that I produce for the general public:
I’m a avid golfer and coach, I have developed a golf swing that takes advantage of the baseball-style swing. If you ever picked up a baseball bat it is also automatic the techniques you need to use for your golf swing if you know the techniques. Why not use the same baseball-type techniques in your golf swing. Not only is it possible, I even prove it in a YouTube Video I produced for what I call the Bunt-Type Chip/Pitch Golf Shot:
What is significant about the Bunt-Type Chip/Pitch Golf Shot is it can be performed where you practice your putting to get reps. Just have a backstop in place to catch those wayward golf shots that occurs from time-to-time. This Bunt-Type Chip/Pitch Technique is excellent for off season and after you get home from work. It uses the same Preset and Sync Technique in the regular ESPY Golf Shot that I coach from tee-to-green. This is what is nice about the Bunt-Type Chip-Pitch Golf Shot. You don’t have to be on the practice range to get the benefits for developing the instincts for the golf swing.
Another YouTube Video that I produced was the Rap-Type Pitch Golf shot great for around the green. This is the most difficult golf shot the golfer has to perform. On the second shot that I demonstrated, I purposely didn’t set the Sync element to show how critical the SYNC element is to the golfer. The SYNC element actually sets up the PRESET component that you hear professional golfers talk about. Even Ken Duke demonstrated this SYNC element that he called the Hinge element:
In my QATSPY Golf Coach’s Film Room, I have a 32-page PDF Download for this Bunt-Type Chip/Pitch and the Rap-Type Chip Golf Shots procedure that can be purchased by simply selecting the Image Link below that demonstrates the key SYNC/Lock Position shown below. This Synced and Locked technique was the golf tip that Arnold Palmer gave to President Eisenhower before a charity Pro-AM they were schedule to play in for the American Heart Association in 1963:
If you what to make your golf swing instinctive, which is essential for the golfer, you need to purchase this procedure:
