WARBIRD RADIO – Take to the skies in the rare PT-13. So what’s the difference in the PT-13 and PT-17? They a look the same…but the engines are different. The PT-13 uses the Lycoming R-680 and the PT-17 uses the Continental R-670. The legendary Stearman’s were the first airplanes most WWII pilots trained in. After the war, many were used as crop dusters and sprayers. Today the PT-13/PT-17 remains a popular warbird for pilots and enthusiasts alike. The PT-13 featured in the video and photo tour is owned by Jeff Whitford. The airplane is based outside Atlanta, Georgia.
