North American 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.
This one is an SNJ-5 operated by the Commemorative Air Force.
