📸 Boeing Stearman PT-13D – 46 Aviation SA

(Static display – Chartres Air Show 2025)

Under the still uncertain sky of this September morning, the Boeing Stearman PT-13D stands proudly on the tarmac, bathed in diffused light. Its pink and white livery attracts all eyes—unusual, almost tender in this world of metal and power. At his side, Danielle Wingwalker bustles about, smiling, ready to take to the skies for a display of grace and daring.
The aircraft, a symbol of a bygone era, seems to be biding its time, engine silent, wings crossed like a bird ready to pounce. Rain threatens in the distance, but passion knows no weather: every reflection on its fuselage, every detail of its wood and fabric structure tells the story of these biplanes of yesteryear, resurrected today for the beauty of the gesture.
That day, on the tarmac at Chartres, the elegance of the Stearman and the energy of 46 Aviation SA alone summed up the spirit of the meeting: between tradition, audacity, and transmission.
