Yea - the navy Trainer - that's what I always see out there. Love the sound of that engine - raw power.
Over at the confederate air force at Falcon field they will also occasionally fly thier B-17G "Sentimental Journey" and that is pretty impressive as well. They also have a B-25 that I've seen fly 3 times. I also saw when they flew their MiG 16 in - that thing is LOUD. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

There are half a dozen AT-6's registered in Maricopa County. The most likely N number is 3198G. If so, I can tell you who owns it. If not, get me an N number - even a partial N number - and I'll cross check it.

It's an SNJ5. Didn't get the N number yet. _________________ What a magnificent time to LIVE! - Everett Ruess.

I noted the P-38 and P-51 depicted were two seaters, I would love to go up in them. I have rode in a AT-6A it was a very great time, flow out of Coolidge Airport quite some time ago. |

My first small plane ride was in an open pit Stearman Trainer, just canvas and aluminum and that radial engine up front. Painted like a John Deere. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

While I am a former civilian/commercial pilot, I just don't appreciate ultra-wealthy ($300/per hour op costs) dudes rapping the mufflers of a 1200+ HP P/W engine (1340+ cubic inches) of their hyper-expensive toys over canyons in which I like to find beauty and solitude.
I may go check with this guy and knock on his door. After that it's the FAA. _________________ What a magnificent time to LIVE! - Everett Ruess.

Roger that, bro!
The FBO's (Fixed Base Operators) at Falcon Field know who's doing what. He's going to have to behave... _________________ What a magnificent time to LIVE! - Everett Ruess.

It is amazing where some of the threads take the topic to. As a matter of fact I was thinking of the army issue can opener. It is paper thin and can be a life saver. |

I own a P-38. It is on my key chain. Don't quite remember why I put it there not opening any cans either... But the sharp pointy edge could be a be a little weapon or used functionally in some other way. There was a reason I put it there at one time. _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)

Been carring one on my key ring for a number of years, the original multi-tool. |
