Jimmy,, on the T6, check that the wing attach bolts, fittings, etc have been checked. I believe there is an AD on that. Also, check the 1/4” bolts holding the vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer on the airframe. They can corrode to nothing but still look good from the outside. Also, there issa grease fitting in the flap mechanism that can only be accessed with the flaps about halfway down. Lastly, keep grease in the kidney bearings in the prop hub.

[@donpatrick9353]

NDT is required on the wing attachments with the AD. Great plane to fly!

‘Intentional spins prohibited’. My old dad was a RAF pilot in WW2, and did training in the US as many did. He told me that one exercise in a Harvard was to recover from a spin, but when it came to doing that it wouldn’t come out. He said that only by adding all available rudder trim as well, did he save himself and the plane. So, it was really good for me that you read out that warning. Thanks Jimmy!

[@jamesmcglinchey2295]

My Dad was a pilot during WWII in the CBI theater. He took his final exam in an AT6 at I believe Cal Aero around 1943. The instructor had the stick, went inverted and said "it's your airplane" don't know how long they stayed inverted but he got his wings. Flew 65 missions in a B-25. He use to say flying through flak was like driving over a bumpy road.

I have got 146 hours on a T6 and they are amazing aircraft from my point of view. I trained on them in the New Zealand Airforce in 1969 and did aerobatics, Instrument and night flying in them as an 18 year old. I went on to fly many other single and twin engined aircraft but the T6 always remained a favorite.

[@DragerPilot]

No guns came with that plane. There was never an AT-6 on an aircraft carrier. Some of the Navy designated SNJ’s may have, but not the AT-6. It was strictly a trainer for transition from fixed gear, minimally powered, limited aerobatic aircraft to fighters or bombers. My father was a WWII bomber pilot who trained in these. He said it was a great plane to fly.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Not the standard production variants, but there were a few outfitted with AN/M2's.

[@johnmcgregor3671]

The t6 did have guns and gun cameras they were 30 cal and they were used for gunnery training I take my knowledge from helping maintain Harvard 2557 canadian registration cf-mgz

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Search for "TA-624 T-6 Texan" for images of what an AT-6F looks like with the AN/M2 .30cal installed (it's a lightened M1919 with a higher rate of fire). It wasn't a big gun, but it was enough to teach students firing techniques and spotting. The NA-69 variants were fitted with a larger Wright and got four forward .30's and one dorsal for the back seat, though only a handful were made. A few others were armed with more guns, primarily for other operators.

[@RLDenham]

The North American LT-6G 'Mosquito' flew with two airborne Tactical Control Squadrons in Korea where they did reconnaissance, & foward air control missions for close support of ground troops & strikes on enemy targets. The LT-6G was armed with 6 under-wing racks with triple rocket launchers & two .30 caliber machine gun pods.

[@shanbadg697]

Guy in Toledo owned a T-6. One Saturday morning I stop a car for speeding, young lady was driving. Her driving record was awful if I’d issued a citation, she would automatically lose her license for a year. So, I gave her a seatbelt violation. An air show was going on at Metcalf Field, now known as Toledo Executive Airport. I’m checking out the T-6, talking to a guy in a wheelchair, who said he’d flown in WW2 and got shot strafing trains and supply lines, causing him to lose his leg. While I’m talking, I hear a woman say ‘dad, this is the police officer who gave me a ticket’. And, suddenly, I thought ‘great, here we go’. It was the lady I issued the seatbelt ticket to. Guy walks up, says ‘sorry my daughter was speeding’. No problem, I hated taking someone’s livelihood or freedom. Guy tells me he owns the T-6 and gives me a tour. Next day, Sunday, dispatch calls me at home and says I had a return call to someone about planes. ‘Tell him to call Toledo Port Authority, they have jurisdiction over Metcalf Field’. He said you gave someone a ticket yesterday. Ohhhhhhhhhh….me: he probably wants me to void the ticket! FIGHT A CITATION IN COURT, not on a Sunday morning! I call him back, to tell him how his daughter could fight the traffic citation. Instead, he says, ‘I got my certification(?) yesterday (some pilots may know what he meant) and I am about to go for a spin, would you like to go’? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! SO, I get to the airport, which is right next to my police station. It was a cloudless sky. 75°. 10am. He gives me the ‘if you hear me say ‘bail,bail,bail’ you jump! If you ask me to repeat that, you are going to talking to yourself, because, I’m not going to be flying this plane. I’ve heard pilots say that all the time. He could’ve said ‘you will have to stab yourself in the eye and sacrifice a small child’. Ok. We were up for about 90 minutes. I skydive, I’m not afraid of planes. It was the best 90 minutes, to this day, in my life. So far. Sliding the canopy open, flying out over Put-in-bay, around Toledo, Detroit, around the lake. He tried to make me pass out by pulling Gs, nope. I was busy laughing. That was 2008-09. So, when I see a T-6, I always think of that day. I am homeless, now, and I would sell a kidney to buy a long range drone that would allow me to fly in the clouds. I have MS and couldn’t get my pilot license. I’m jealous of watching you guys flying here and there. Some day.

[@samphillips8322]

Since it was an Air Force trainer with the large canopy panels it may be a "G" model as in AT-6G. If so, you are fortunate as most of those went through a major rework and update during the early 1950s. At that time several bases in Florida had them. Fortunately the Air Force birds had a steerable tail wheel. You will learn all about flying an airplane with a tail wheel and be amazed how important the rudder is as you transition to the T-6. Make sure you have a good set of headphones. Start it up (with an instructor in the back seat) and go bore some holes in the sky. It only burns 26 gph.... That intake fire on startup is not normal. What is normal is to have someone standing by with a fire extinguisher any time you are starting up just in case that happens.

All you can do with an engine fire is keep cranking it. If you don’t, the whole engine can go up in flames! Radials are known for fires like that. That’s why normally a guy will stand by with a big CO2 fire extinguisher.

[@Newberntrains]

Actually not rare for an exaust fire with rotary engines if u flood the cylinders this can happen with cessnas too. But more common with rotary

[@canuckwing0195]

@@Newberntrains Although there is fire coming out or the exhaust while running, the fire under the engine is from the intake. One keeps it turning over to try and literally stuck the flames into the engine, through the induction system. It is a radial engine not a rotary. Even understanding what's going on, I confess to being a bit nervous when it happens, often happens from over priming. Looks to me like it was running only on the prime and wasn't getting the pressure from the engine pump.

Jeeez, I thought I was the crazy one when it comes to aviation.....Jimmy, you've got it bad.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Perfect fuel mileage!!!!!

[@gregcombs4839]

Go broke fast keeping fuel in those toys!

[@martinmcquaide4807]

That T-6 looks like a work horse. And the mig will be a hangar trophy. It will be great to see them in the air.

[@veryburntoutinaz19517]

Jimmy on the MIG: You do know it is a total fuel HOG! You can go broke just trying to feed that thing. And also the T6 is not really easy on the 100LL either. Want something easy to maintain, easy on gas, super fun to fly, and CAN DO rolls, loops AND SPINS, ? Check into getting a Chinese trainer called a Nanchang CJ6, BUT get one with the Russian M14 engine in it. Same engine as the Yak 52, 360 to over 420 HP VS the Chinese engine with only 285 HP.

I miss my dad. Making memories. The planes are also great videos.

[@feel2008Me]

I knew that you were going to buy those plane's. Very happy you did so now get busy and sell the other airplanes so you won't be in so much trouble with the wife. Not that she will abject once she sees and gets into one. Great content and video's buddy keep up the great work.

Iguana begins with an I😂 That was a long trip back home. Glad you made it back safe and sound 👍

[@1poorvw]

Are those SS flag’s behind the T6 that you blurred out? Dang.

[@Kevlux86]

And a loser Nazi flag at 9:54. The Nazi’s were losers and Neo-Nazis are losers today. America already kicked Nazi asses in WWII!

[@SpidaMez]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@1poorvw]

Jimmy: “So it’s painted like this and you guys would play the bad guys at air shows?” The guys: “uuuuuuhhh, yea, that’s it.”

[@brittanyncharles20]

Awesome!! Frickin right new planes

[@cg_justin_5327]

You're either a madman, or have a really cool wife! Lol My wife wanted to kill me for buying a Dodge Challenger R/T. Something tells me you're gonna be sleeping in the shed. 😂

[@redeyebandit9791]

Such a neat airplane! I felt like a kid waiting to see it come to life!

[@CootersScooters85]

[@therealjimmysworld]
