This aircraft, originally built in 1941, was graciously donated to the museum by Madelyn Morse of Somerset, Nova Scotia. Her husband, Harry Morse, and 3  others rebuilt the Stearman after a crash on takeoff in 1984. It was part of many local events in the Annapolis Valley from 1989 to 2015.

The Boeing Model 75 (PT-17) Stearman, created in 1934, was used as a primary trainer in World War 2. After the war they were sold off as surplus to the civilian market and delegated to tasks such as crop dusting. In Canadian service the Stearman was known as the “Kaydet”.
