Looks like a good ol’ Boeing-Stearman model 75. The ubiquitous trainer of WWII.

Well-equipped and restored examples can be had for less than $100k

Boeing made almost 11,000 of them. I’d be interested to know how many are left and airworthy. I’m sure somebody knows.

Awesome! I really want to go back to DC again to see the museum now that it’s finished. Luckily one of my best friends is moving to Arlington soon.

A quick glance on Controller has about a dozen for sale. I don’t know any exact numbers, so I’d say a few hundred are left around the world

My cousin owned a Stearman a while back. Awesome planes.
