Default Stearman Question

Hi guys,
Does anyone know when the use of PT-13/17 Stearman's was phased out by the US
armed services? Any ideas which training base used them last?

TIA

I can only speak for myself---Howard School of Aeronautics, Orangeburg, S. C.
1944.
It was a fun airplane to fly but a little skittish on crosswind landings.

From an old Peter Bowers column recently rerun in a Pacific coast based
aviation newspaper he states that the last US Army/Air Force Stearmans were
withdrawn in 1948. He doesn't state what units or uses they were being used
for.

The last USN N3N's were not withdrawn till 1961!
