What a great video and plane

[@PauloPereira-jj4jv]

My brother was a fighter pilot and a flight instructor, and like everybody else he flew the T-6 a lot.

Great video, full of good advices!

[@jasonleigh6751]

I have flown 2 of them and loved it !

[@Mimache]

Very interesting, thanks for the video

[@BrianSchiff]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wilgarcia1]

They had a couple of SNJs at Aviation HS for future aircraft mechanics to practice on. =)

[@wyattsdad8561]

I love the T6. I built an RC one out of balsa wood and covering and man that thing would drop a wing and stall super easy. It always made me wonder if a full scale had those characteristics

[@jmguevarajordan]

Excellent video👍👍👍👍A++++

[@BrianSchiff]

Thank you 👍

[@userbosco]

Got to fly one with my pops (RIP) in 2017. He gave me a "slow roll"...I wasn't a fan - LOL. Fly Navy!

[@dynaflow666]

Like this Baby-Dauntless.

[@jgalexander510]

I recognize KSMO :-). Great video!

[@jrcadet4]

Good stuff from Barry Schiff, and easily the visual equal of his aviation writing. The T-6 is the first fixed-wing airplane I ever flew in, and I'm still a bit besotted with the old darlings.

[@jrcadet4]

Good stuff, and easily the visual equal of Barry Schiff's aviation writings. The AT-6 is high up among my favorite airplanes.

[@BrianSchiff]

Thanks for taking the time to say so. I've passed your sentiments along to dad - he enjoys hearing such things.

[@user-wz2qe2pv6r]

And now we're loosing them at an alarming rate.

[@BigDickMark]

1:24 it's very clear it was only intended for male pilots and Devyn Reiley had no flying the T-6 that she crashed at Oshkosh. Devyn Reiley murdered Zach Colliemoreno. Rest in peace, Zach.

[@stankakol5195]

My dad got his Navy wings in November 1947. Would the SNJ be the plane in which he made his first carrier landing?

[@TheProficientPilot]

I asked dad, and he didn't know the answer to your question. Perhaps another viewer here does? Sorry...Brian

[@stankakol5195]

@@TheProficientPilot Brian -- thanks for your efforts. BTW, I just watched an earlier video of yours when you flew with your dad (L-1011 to Europe). What a fantastic video!! I almost choked up. I would have loved to have flown with my dad, but I always got air sick, so I became a lawyer. LOL

[@TheProficientPilot]

@@stankakol5195 That's funny. I'm not smart enough or studious enough to become a lawyer, so I became a pilot!

[@steveb6103]

My dad got his wings with an SNJ 06/06/1942. And so it's very possible to have been what your father did also.

[@stankakol5195]

@@steveb6103 Steve, thanks for your answer. I always assumed that my dad got his wings in a Stearman. I had never even thought about the SNJ, other than for carrier landings.

Barry Schiff is the aviation version of Jeremy Clarkson, except he doesn't destroy planes he dislikes like Clarkson does with cars he dislikes.

[@tedheath9018]

Havard.

[@craigpennington1251]

It's a little more involved staring than is shown here. But still pretty cool stuff. Oh, trash that horrible music please.
