Bryan Brannon purchased this incredible Stearman in December 2023, after a tornado tried to take it in 2018 in Faribault, MN.  This plane was at one time redesigned by Jimmy Younkin, innovator of Mr. Mulligan and many other vintage aircraft and components.  Brannon had Waldo fix three of the four busted wings, while his local team in Conway, AR, tackled the tail, engine, and fuselage.  Waldo was overjoyed with the opportunity to work on this plane.  Brannon's determination paid off, as in 2024, EAA granted it with an award!
