I always loved Stearmans.
I saw a photo on another website recently of something purported to be a Stearman, but it had an engine cowl. The rest of it looked right, but I don't recall any ever being built that way. It could have been modified. Don't know. There's a white biplane in your shots, and it has a full cowl. It appears to be a Waco, though. What was it doing there?
There was one plane at the fly-in that had a full cowl. I didnt get a picture of it because it was in the hangar for most of the day. It didn't get rolled out until just before we took off, so I was busy elsewhere. I checked the info on it and according to the FAA N-number lookup, it was manufactured in 1941.
That little white one is indeed a Waco. I guess the fly-in was open to all comers. There was a float-equipped Super Cub that showed up late in the afternoon on Friday.

Actually, I was sick of them 6 months ago. The process has become so all-absorbing, it detracts from real problems that have to be dealt with soon.
I occasionally marvel at the similarities between politics as practiced in this country, and professional wrestling.
Yeah... It's just as bad with the local elections here too. Most of the city council is term limited out, the current city attorney is a dork and there is a rich businessman trying to unseat our ineffective incumbent mayor.

LINK Wow. Good imagery and a lot more up to date than Google. They're still showing PETCO Park under construction... It was completed in 2004.
Want a Macro lens and ring flash?
