Type of biplane in flashback scene?


Any aviation buffs know what that was? Looked similar to a Stearman, but I don't think it was. Thanks.

Just giving this a bump, if anyone knows. Thanks.

Found out it was a Stearman Cloudboy - one of only 6 still flying.

Wow, wouldn't have thought it to be that rare.

It would be interesting to know if they used this plane because it was the one Sully actually trained on. They certainly could have found a much cheaper alternative. The plane used, N787H, serial number 6002, is owned by Ronald Alexander and displayed at the Candler Field Museum in Williamson, Georgia.
