John Mohr PT-17 Stearman N49739 2024-06-07

This is a repaint only, for the payware Vertigo Studios Stearman Vol.1 set. This repaint depicts the restored Stearman PT-17 N49739, owned/operated by John Mohr of Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. The aircraft was manufactured as USAAF 42-16299 and has been owned by John Mohr since 1975. With this stock Stearman, of only 220 hp, John Mohr crafted an aerobatic routine unmatched by anything else (as witnessed first-hand by the author of this repaint on several occasions). Winner of the Bill Barber and ICAS Art Scholl Memorial Showmanship Awards, John Mohr, seemingly able to defy the laws of physics with his flying abilities and patented maneuvers, thrilled airshow crowds for 25 years in classic barnstormer-style aerobatics, until quietly retiring at the end of the 2013 airshow season.
