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?)
