An 80-year-old World War II-era plan from Terrell will spend retirement where it logged many hours of work. NBC 5’s Noelle Walker reports on the Stearman PT-27 biplane’s homecoming celebration.
Webb bought 'Old 42' about a decade ago and started researching the biplane's history. It was a skywriter and a crop duster, but before all that, it was stationed in Terrell at the BFTS."This plane needs to come right here to its home," Webb said."That trainer was used for two years in that training," BFTS Board Chairman Bill Huthmacher said."For it to come back to the museum now and be donated to the museum is incredible because it's a piece of history.
"We all celebrate when children come home and this is like a child coming home," Richard Hyde, His Majesty's Consul General in Texas, said."That was a phenomenally important gift of the American people to the British people and it's a gift that was unrecognized and never discussed for a long time...on behalf of the British government, I say again, thank you.
