1945 BOEING A75N1 STEARMAN
N813LG, sn 75-8698 - 300hp Jacobs Fuel Injected Engine
The highest standard, lowest hour Stearman we have ever offered!
This is certainly the finest and best equipped Stearman that we have ever
offered. Only 75 hours since complete airframe and engine overhaul by Vintage
Aeroplane Europe. 300hp Jacobs fuel injected engine provides both power and
fuel economy. Hand-rubbed gloss dope finish with everything polished. We
wish we could bring it to OSHKOSH!
This aircraft was restored by our
company last year and only has 75
hours since the work was done.
Unfortunately, the owner has lost
his hangar space and must sell this
stunning aircraft at considerably
less than his purchase price.
AIRFRAME:
Ground-up Restoration in
September 2011 at 3000 hours total
time. This is a stunning aircraft with
very low time since a complete
restoration and overhaul.

HISTORY: This is one of the last
aircraft delivered to the US Navy
as an N2S-5 in 1945. It was
released from the US Navy and
sold for $500 in April, 1948, and
by June of 1948, it was already
modified for agricultural spray
use. Total time by 1956 was
recorded at 2849 hours. In 1982
the aircraft was converted back to
a two place aircraft and restored
to standard category. Dr. L.
Glorioso of New Orleans bought
the aircraft in 1987 and based it
together with the Stearmans of six
other Quiet Birdmen (QB) members at Lakefront Airport in New
Orleans. The Lakefront QB’ers were famous for their crawfish
parties and other events at Galesburg, Jennings, Sun’n Fun and
Oshkosh each year, where they travelled in Stearman formation
from Lakefront.
In typical New Orleans sarcastic spirit,
Dr. Glorioso painted his Stearman in
the authentic Yellow Peril colours of
“Cadet MacDribble” and his infamously unlucky
squadron number 13, which featured so prominently in
the “What NOT to do” sections of the WWII Navy training films by
Robert Taylor.

“KATRINA”:
In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina
completely destroyed Lakefront
Airport and all the aircraft remaining
there – including all of the Stearmans
owned by the QB Gang – save one:
N813LG. At 8 feet above sea level,
the airport extends into Lake
Ponchartrain and is outside of the
New Orleans Levee system. As such,
it was spared the prolonged flooding
that devastated the city, but still, it
endured several hours of pounding
wind, waves and storm surge. While
all hangars were affected, Dr.
Glorioso’s remained physically intact
and was briefly flooded. The aircraft
seems to have floated around and incurred a severe case of
“hangar rash” but little else by way of structural damage.
AFTERMATH:
After a careful inspection, we purchased the aircraft with a view to restoring this sole
survivor to airworthy condition. Even though water had not entered the engine or oil
system, the owner protected the engine by filled the case and cylinders to the top
with water-displacing
oil. When we obtained
the plane, we
performed a top-end
tear-down to confirm
that the engine had
not suffered any
damage.
Even though the
aircraft seemed in
very good condition,
the correct way
forward (and only way
for our company) was
to undertake a
complete “penalty
overhaul” of the
airframe and engine
per original military
specifications. This involves a structural tear down to the bare steel tubular frame,
followed by a sandblast, pressure-fill linseed oil treatment and a full airframe overhaul
of all components and fixtures.
As shown above, the original Continental engine was replaced with a 0 since overhaul
300 hp Jacobs engine together with all accessories from Radial Engines Limited.
The final result is one of the most stunning and best performing of any
Stearman aircraft that we have ever operated.
