Description
The North American T-6 Texan two-place advanced trainer was the classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in World War II. Called the SNJ by the Navy and the Harvard by the British Royal Air Force, the AT-6 (advanced trainer) was designed as a transition trainer between basic trainers and first-line tactical aircraft. It was redesignated T-6 in 1948.
In all, the T-6 trained several hundred thousand pilots in 34 different countries over a period of 25 years. A total of 15,495 of the planes were made. Though most famous as a trainer, the T-6 Texan also won honors in World War II and in the early days of the Korean War.

Photo!?!?!?! Well now David, this is unlike any photo I have ever taken I can assure you. Maybe I have been hanging out in the wrong places. My dad was a model airplane flyer and we spent the Sunday afternoon out at the Janes airport while dad flew his planes. We ran threw many a corn field during the free flight days and then were so very thankful when "radio control came along. We did the big shows too and met anyone whoever flew a model plane. Nope--never saw a plane quite like this one! Well done and FAV
