The T-6 Texan is a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft that was used to train pilots of the U.S. Army Air Forces, U.S. Navy, Royal Air Force, and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II into the 1970s. The Navy’s Texan was designated as this aircraft, the SNJ. During the Korean War, and to a lesser extent the Vietnam War, T-6s were pressed into service as forward air control aircraft; these aircraft were designated T-6 “Mosquitoes.” It remains a popular warbird used for airshow flight demonstrations and displays. Colorado Aviation Hall of Fame member Richard Janitell has owned this example for more than 45 years. It was saved from being melted down and used for aluminum cans. It has been to a variety of places and airshows in 45 years and just recently underwent a complete refurbishing, including new paint and interior detailing.
