You could probably hear it before you could see it.

Harvards are common in my neck of the woods. I like them, they have a brutish appearance that is endearing.

There's a sky writing company here on Long Island called "Sky Typers". They use 5 SNJ/T-6/Harvard/Texan/"imitation Zero"/A-27's/NA-16's.
Yes, you can hear them before you see them. It's a truly beautiful sound.

I work just south of Republic and it's a joy to hear.

An Ex NZ AT-6D I photographed at Essendon Airport in Melbourne a few years ago, still flying I believe but not sure where it is based now.

I've suspected that there are a lot of these aircraft still in existence, flying. Not a lot of combat use, being trainers. Biggest risk was the student pilot, I'm guessing. Used in movies posing as Mitsubishi Zero's, et al. I'll be somebody out there has a reasonable estimate as to how many there are in the world today.

Thank YOU.
I've always thought that two-bladed propeller had its own distinctive sound. Why was the two bladed configuration used?
