1. A crop duster for President Biden?!

The Stearman Biplane seems like a strange craft for POTUS to fly in. According to Wikipedia, it "is a biplane formerly used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s."

This is the Wikipedia link:

I'm sure I'm missing something. Is this some kind of PR event? (Aren't they all?)

2. The airport closest to Brandy Station is where the local antique aircraft are based.

Whenever the old planes come to DC for a flyover, they are based at that airport. There used to be an aerial circus show that ran out of that airport. There's likely a Stearman there now.

4. From Biden's schedule:

3. I vote for Marine One

He might look at a Stearman while there, but I suspect Marine One is much more micro-maintained.

5. A Stearman can't be ruled out. Many people, the best people, are saying ...

It looks as if Warrenton and Culpeper have separate airports.

Stearman Mishap Temporarily Shuts Down Washington National Airport

June 8, 2010
By AOPA ePublishing staff

It was supposed to be a day celebrating legends of aviation at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., complete with a promotional fly-in of eight Stearman into {Washington National Airport}. General aviation aircraft operations have been extremely limited at the airport since 9/11. After landing, the Stearman came to rest on its back one-quarter of the way down the 6,869-foot-long Runway 1.

Behind the Stearman roll-over

By now, millions of people around the world have seen the ghastly video images of the gorgeous Stearman biplane flipping over onto its back at Washington’s {National Airport}. Still, there are a couple of bright spots that no one who sees the infamous video should miss. AOPA Pilot Senior Editor was a passenger in the seventh airplane in the promotional flight. Read his blog >>

The pilot, Mike Treschel, of the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Warrenton, Va., and passenger Ashley Halsey, transportation reporter for the Washington Post, were not injured in the accident. Air traffic controllers immediately closed the runway and switched all arriving and departing airline traffic to the shorter 5,204-foot-long Runway 33, forcing the inbound airliners to make a shortfield approach. Two hours after the 10 a.m. incident, a crane had lifted the yellow biplane and turned it upright before it was moved from the runway.

Well, I'm disappointed. No Stearman.
