| Thomas Puchalski Winnipeg, Manitoba, OTH | My father, Russell Puchalski, worked as a tool and die maker in the Canada Car factory in Thunder Bay, Ontario after WWII, and built T-6 "Harvards", as they were called in Canada. His crew built the last batch of T-6's (13 aircraft) ever made in their factory, which were flown to Pennsylvania for delivery. 02/24/2006 @ 18:30 [ref: 12610] |

| James E Lee aka Cocker Camp Hill, PA | A very special T-6 . Graduated June 1943 Class 43F Selma Alabama .1,000 hours in the back seat as instructor at many schools . Flight Test at Wright Field had a Model with an Experimental All Glass Wing made by Corning Glass , Elmira , NY . A program for 500 hours service test was conducted of which I flew many hours .This wing had such a low Radar Image that a Transponder had to be installed for Test programs , Perhaps this was the beginning of Stealth .

| David Johnson Cincinnati, OH | A North American AT-6 Texan just cruised in for a landing at the Blue Ash (Ohio) Airport across from my office building. I found that it is here just for the general public to purchase flights. I say flights, not rides, because they will let you fly the plane, everything except takeoff and landing. It is pricey, but the notes I saw on their website make it sound worth the money. See this website:

| Tom Murphy Huntington Beach, CA | Of all the planes I flew as a USAF pilot during the 1950s, the AT-6 Texan was my favorite despite the fact that my instructor and I crashed two of them during primary flight training in 1952.What a sweet flying experience it was to solo in this trainer!! 08/21/2003 @ 10:31 [ref: 6650] |
| Waco Muse La Quinta, CA | I got to fly one of these Warbirds last week (by way of North American Top Gun (www.natg.com))- My first time flying anything but my computer! I'm spoiled rotten already. The plane was so responsive, and everything felt so natural. If this is what flying is all about, count me in! I just hope that someday I can manage to have one of my own. Don’t worry; I’ll share.
