Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: De North American Aviation T-6 Texan/Harvard, hier op het Brasschaat Flying Festival 2017, is een eenmotorig trainingstoestel waarmee geallieerde piloten werden opgeleid tijdens en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De T-6G, zoals dit toestel, zijn aangepaste vroegere AT-6/T-6 toestellen, met een betere cockpitinrichting, een grotere brandstofcapaciteit en een aangepast landingsgestel. Dit toestel diende in de Zuid-Afrikaanse luchtmacht, tot het door het Stampe en Vertongen Museum werd verworven.

Het is geschilderd in de kleuren van de Belgische Luchtmacht.
English: The North American Aviation T-6 Texan (also known as Harvard), here at the Brasschaat Flying Festival, was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the Allied Air Forces during World War II and into the 1950s.

The T-6G, like this one, are earlier models AT-6/T-6s re-built between 1949-1953, which have improved cockpit layout, increased fuel capacity, modified landing gear with steerable tailwheel, updated radios and a 600hp R-1340-AN-1 engine.

This aeroplane served in the South African Air Force before it was bought by the Stampe en Vertongen Museum. It is ow painted in the colours of the Belgian Air Force.
