T-6G TEXAN
THE NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION T-6 TEXAN WAS USED BY THE US AND ALLIED FORCES AS THE ADVANCED FIGHTER TRAINER FROM 1938 UNTIL WAR'S END IN 1945. CONTINUING IN SERVICE AROUND THE WORLD FOR 55 YEARS, THIS PARTICULAR T-6 TEXAN, OR HARVARD AS SHE WAS CALLED BY THE ALLIES, IS BASED AT THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX AVIATION MUSEUM. SHE CAME DIRECTLY TO GILMER, TEXAS FROM ACTIVE SERVICE IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE IN 1994.

PT-17 STEARMAN
RE-LIVE A BYGONE ERA IN THE PT-17 STEARMAN. US ARMY AND NAVY PILOTS TRAINED FOR SERVICE DURING WORLD WAR II LEARNED THE BASICS OF FLIGHT IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A PT-17 STEARMAN. INSTRUCTORS PROVIDED GUIDANCE AND DEMONSTRATION FROM THE BACK SEAT AND COULD TAKE THE CONTROLS WHEN NECESSARY. THE ACROBATIC ABILITIES OF THE STEARMAN INTRODUCED CADETS TO THE BASIC COMBAT MANEUVERS FOR DOG FIGHTING.
