The relatively late Fiscal Year (1949) for this T-6 is accounted for by the fact that it was part of a large batch remanufactured from existing AT-6 aircraft. From 1951 it served with training units in Texas and Missouri before being transferred to Spain under the Military Assistance Program (MAP) in 1957, delivered aboard an aircraft carrier. Flown by the Ejército del Aire as E.16-65, it was struck off in 1982 and returned to the US Government. The museum acquired the aircraft through disposal channels in 1984 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
