I was out at the Houston wing CAF HQ today and saw this stunning T-6 about to fly.

Very nice Don. Love the T-6/Harvard/SNJ, whatever it's called!

I'm not sure either Geo, I just know they are all the same air frame and this one has targets on the side and wing to help the other guys aim.

One way to know it it is a T-6 or a Harvard is to check the control column. Pistol grip, it's a t-6. Spade grip, it's a Harvard. The T-6 at the Castle Air Museum in Atwater Ca is a Harvard MK II and the markings would cause it to be considered as T-6J since there were some taken into the U.S. inventory post war and sent out under the MDAP program.

That is an AT-6A, manufactured in 1941 by North American

Until recently, it was painted in a light blue/dark blue camo and had a red engine cowl and a red rudder, a white 18 with USAF insignia = D * UN.

When I turned 50 for my birthday I got an hour in a T-6D with aerobatics. What a rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
