Anytime you are near enough to aircraft to photograph them, do so and take many, many, many shots. Out of 1000's of photos there will usually be a real keeper. The smell of 100LL and 50 weight oil smoke keep me flying beyond my 74 years.
Keep shooting and keep posting, consider the constructive criticism, and then learn from the constructive advice.

When I was about 9 years old I was given a tour of GAFB in ny. I loved planes and my parents knew folks at th base. While on tour the capt. decided to put me in the seat of a Black Panther. Idid something that made him go ballistic. I put my hand on the ejection handle. I knew what it was so I had no intention of pulling it. ps the plane was in the hanger.

Actually if you look on the back of the fuselage it says Navy. Therefore it is an SNJ. The Army Air Force used the same aircraft but it was called the AT-6 Texan. The Canadians called it the Harvard. I'm an airplane buff.

I didn't want to confuse folks with the SNJ designation. It's the same basic airplane. I think the castoring tailwheel and tailhook (on some of them) is the only difference between the two.
I've flown a T-6G that was painted and marked as an SNJ.

The pictures are great, but what's important to me is how you got them, what camera, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, filter etc and where/ what they were taken from. Smilin' Geo.

It is true that they are basically the same plane, except for some modified naval models but I am just a stickler for accuracy. It is the same with the North American T-28. Air Force model had a two blade prop and smaller engine than the Navy version. Navy model swung a three blade prop, had a larger engine and beefed up airframe for carrier landings and of course a tail hook. They look a lot alike in the air but are two different airplanes.

You are right.---also some T6's had a prop spinner.
This pic might be a -3 or 4 model by the looks of the very back of the canopy.
also the T6 had a square tail wheel tire and the J was round.
We had about 200 of them where I was stationed in Pensacola.
We taught A-B-and C stage so none of ours had a tail hook.

Did the Navy fly T-6s or could it be an SNJ?
