Fly N555Q - the 'Pilot Maker'
The North American Aviation T-6 Texan was the preeminent single-engine advanced military training aircraft used by the United States, United Kingdom and other allied air forces during World War II to prepare their pilots to fly fighters. Its earnest but at times demanding and potentially unforgiving flying characteristics earned it the affectionate nickname of the 'Pilot Maker' - a moniker which has endured to this day.
Powered by a 600 horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp radial engine the T-6 was known by a variety of names amongst the various nations it served with - like the SNJ or the Harvard in British Commonwealth air forces - and remained in military service in South Africa all the way up until 1995! In its retirement the T-6 Texan remains an iconic and highly sought after Warbird and is frequently used for formation flying training and airshow demonstrations.
Our T-6G N555Q is based at Palo Alto Airport (KPAO) and costs $600 / Hobbs hour including fuel. Instructor fees are additional; no solo rental is permitted.
