T6 crash

[Elmas]

T6 crashed at Spiazzi Boario, nr Bergano Northern Italy, 1974.
Pilots killed.
Cause: wing stall.
T6 was an airplane that, despite its peaceful appearance, did not tolerate any overconfidence, a Friend of mine told to me many years ago.

The T-6 is a very unforgiving plane at low altitude. On May 5th 1985 I saw an SNJ-3 [AT-6A] crash and explode during an airshow held at NAS Lemoore Ca. That memory is still vivid even now all these years later.
