This T-6D flew as an early 'Mosquito' FAC aircraft with the 6147th Tactical Air Control Group during the first two years of the Korean War. Ironically, it was converted to a mosquito spraying aircraft in 1952. Two years later, the USAF transferred it to the nascent Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). The ROKAF placed it on display outside for several years after retiring it. The USAFM acquired it in 1995 and after restoration it went on display in 2001 and can now be seen in the Korean War Gallery

The T-6 made its name as a trainer but was rapidly pressed into service at the start of the Korean War in the role of a forward air controller (FAC). The FAC T-6D 'Mosquito' version performed well but was retired by the USAF as single props were thought to be unsuitable for these missions in the jet-age, a decision that was quickly reversed in Vietnam. This Mosquito flew with the 6147th Tactical Air Control Group in the Korean War and was eventually acquired by the National Museum of the USAF in 1995.
