Alan Lopez's M-2 "Bull" Stearman NC785H has its engine running at Trenton-Robbinsville Airport (NJ). It is looking ready to fly after a restoration by the Posey Brothers. This aircraft was discoverd by Bob Cameron in the Yukon at Teslin Lake many years ago.
The upper wing upper surface painted half orange was a standard paint scheme used by Varney Airlines in the Pacific Northwest region of the US to make their airplanes easier to locate when forced down or crashed in densely wooded and snow covered country. The engine is a P&W Hornet, R-1690.
