RainyEye Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Saw this fly over yesterday and while it seems to be a WWII fighter, I have no clue as to what kind. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermilionfox Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hard to tell but it looks like it might be a AT-6 Texan. The Texan was a WWII trainer made by North American.Wish I could see the cockpit better. Did the cockpit look like it had two places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the cockpit look like it had two places? vermilionfox is right on the money, landing gear position, exhaust stack and straight line of the trailing edge of the wing with the speed brakes and flaps, along with tail feather shapes.

Huh? You pilots and your jargon. Worse even than photographers. Hmmm, come to think of it, Dan, when you go from a group of pilots to a group of photographers, is it hard to switch jargons?

Dbl Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I only know how to talk in jargons, is there another way? Oh and I forgot the squared off wingtips as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hmmm, sports jargon, beer jargon, photography jargon, husband/wife jargon. I reckon you are right! I'd forgotten just how necessary it is for daily life. Thanks for jargon my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
