Not arguing but how did you come by this conclusion? Looks like AF and doesn't say NAVY. Just asking. Could be tail could I guess. In the end they all became F-80's

een there. My wife finally agreed to fly to Roswell NM to my 40th reunion. In 2021. Did not make it to the 10th due to Desert Storm, 20th because of 9/11, 30th because of a kay off. The week before, we got Covid. Looking forward to the 50th.
All T-6s use that engine and I nearly have a male orgasm when I hear one or more together.If the "Sky Typers" are using that engine in their T-6s, I agree. Every so often they fly over on the way to the beach. It's a wonderful concert.
Yes, exactly !That's a TO-1.
This one gets my vote - very brief service though (only 2 days?)View attachment 758678

Yes, it had a welded steel tube fuselage with plywood panels. On the topic of fuel tanks, they were manufactured by AB Platindustri, don't know if it is self sealing or not. And it DID in fact have armor. On page 202 of Mikael Forslund's Swedish Fighter Colours it states: "The armour plating behind the pilot's seat was deemed too narrow," this was during operational trials in 1943 by the way. They also added after, the report this is referring to, a 60mm armored front screen. So the J22 was armored.The J22 was made (partially) of wood. I don't believe any armour was attached.
I just commented on Elvis's post, but to say it quickly, they had armor on the pilots seat and cockpit.It appears that the J22 was never equipped with either feature.
Explained this to elvis, but J22 had a plate on the seat, and cockpit stuff, (see aboveDid the J22 have self sealing fuel tanks and armor?
