August 20-21, 2011- Wings Over Camarillo
T-6/SNJ Texan
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 several
T-6's at the show flown individually, as well as the Condor Squadron
flying formations.
