Reply to comment by NoNoNotorious89 in WASP pilot Nancy Nesbit seated in the cockpit of an AT-6 Texan at Love Field in Dallas, 1944. Colorized. by ectheow3

Never heard that.

It was awful. The only good thing about it is nostalgia and it can do some basic aeros like a fat lady doing ballet.

Why were you flying one if you didn’t already love warbirds? It’s a pure stick and rudder airplane, with a big round radial engine, and a taildragger. Not liking a T6 is like not loving a Corsair, P-47, Hellcat, De Havilland Beaver etc.

The AT-6? Fun! BT-13? Yeah…. Not as much.

Can’t say I’ve flown the 13. The hours don’t really count towards requirements to fly fighters so I’ve never really been interested
