I flew a tail that my grandmother flew in ‘44 last year. AMAZING. It belonged to CAF, which lost the B-17 Texas Raiders and its crew last week.

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
