EAA AirVenture 2014- Oshkosh, Wisconsin
T-6/SNJ Texan/Harvard
The North American
NA-16 prototype would eventually become the T-6 Texan. In US
Navy designation, it was called the SNJ. The British called it
the Harvard. By the end of the 1950s, the US had retired all
of it's Texans from active service. In foreign service, the
Texan trained pilots well into the 1970s! Over 17,000 were
made and today, over 350 are still flying. The AT-6/SNJ is a
rugged and dependable airplane. There
were many T-6s at AirVenture and they flew large formations
on a couple of days.
