The AT-6 Texan, redesignated the T-6 in 1962, is one of the most used and collected warbirds. The T-6 was designed as an advanced trainer aircraft during WWII and was used at some point by almost every serviceman that went through the US Air Corp. After completing basic training on the biplane Boeing Stearman, pilots would go on to advanced training where they would learn to fly mono wing planes such as the Vultee BT-13 Variant and AT-6 Texan. Afterward, depending on the proven skill set and placement, they would go on to either single-engine training school or multi-engine training, basically separating the class into fighter pilots or bomber pilots. The AT-6 played a pivotal role in training pilots, being one of the first training aircraft they fly with metal surfaces, hydraulic flaps, retractable landing gear, and .30mm machine guns mounted in the wings for aerial and ground gunnery practice.
