Trick question. It's not a bird. It's an airplane.

I was being metaphysical.

Technically, it's a PT-17, which was a Stearman Model 75 with a Continental R-670-5 engine.

Interesting guess, but it's a little earlier than that. It's a Boeing PT-17, which is basically a Boeing-Stearman Model 75 with a Continental engine.

Is it maybe an F4B? I'm not a plane buff, but it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Yup. Specifically a Boeing PT-17.

No, but you've got the manufacturer right. It's a Boeing PT-17, which is a Stearman Model 75 with a Continental engine.

Yeah, I wasn't going to try and guess the engine from the shock absorber. :-p

Very easy for me. Stearman

Strangely, the PT-17 was my original pick until I saw the name "Boeing". I always thought it was just a Stearman.

Learned something today.
