I've taken a large bug hit to the face at 65mph. Not even remotely interested in possibly trying it at 100mph. Would love to fly the Stearman though.

I liove Tom Scott’s videos. He has an excellent one where he’s riding with the UK’s Red Arrows team too.

It's a little ironic that the pilot has a helmet and not the wing person, as if ir it would do any good. A full face motorcycle helmet would take care of the bug encounter.
