North American AT-6F Texan Trainer Aircraft, Registration N66J

This North American AT-6F Texan, seen here in civilian ownership under registration N66J, represents the advanced trainer type that prepared thousands of U.S. military pilots for combat aircraft from the late 1930s through the Korean War. Surplus Texans like this one found new life as civilian warbirds and airshow performers in the postwar decades. Project: 218462
