QB-36
North American 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 1,000 are still flying.
