Huge BIF ( WWII Variety)

[RainyEye]

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!

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?

Can you post a larger photo?

[RainyEye]

Hopefully this will be larger! I set it be

[Steve Foss]

Nope, same size on my monitor.

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]

I only know how to talk in jargons, is there another way? Oh and I forgot the squared off wingtips as well

[Steve Foss]

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.

LOL

Thanks guys, I'll have to read up on the AT-6 Texan! I'm really interested in WWII aircraft.
