You don't see many T-6's painted in anything but trainer colors. This one, in company with a Curtiss SBC Helldiver, is being used for combat training over Florida by the First Marine Aircraft Wing, obviously either not long before Pearl Harbor or not long after it.

Here is a gunner in an O-47, an undoubtedly nice aircraft that proved to be almost completely useless.

I disagree. I watched a YouTube video that may have been made with the Planes of Fame museum. This airplane is quite roomy and is great for hauling stuff around for air shows. IIRC It's quite popular for that reason.
A win is a win.

One of the most numerous warbirds in South Africa is the Harvard. This is largely due to the fact that these were used until 1995 SFAR

I have seen that one in person. It is a real beauty. But it is rather like restoring a 1967 Rambler Station Wagon (WHY?).
