Details: From the Manufacturer
The collectable model T-6A Texan II represents the latest generation of trainers used by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. A replacement for the venerable T-34, the T6-A Texan II is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail, this T-6A Texan II makes a great gift for any aviation enthusiast or history buff. Based on the Pilatus PC-9 civilian turboprop, is manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas. The T-6A Texan II is a single-engine, two-seat primary trainer aircraft, which is designed to train Joint Primary Pilot Training students in basic flying skills common to U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots. The T-6A Texan II began replacing the T-34C Turbo Mentors in Navy service in 2005. Powered by a single, Pratt and Whitney PT6A-68 turboprop engine with a four-blade propeller, it features a stepped-tandem cockpit configuration, with the instructor’s rear seat raised slightly to improve visibility from the rear cockpit, modern avionics, and improved egress systems. Both T-6A cockpits are covered by a single, side-opening, non-jettisoned canopy. The T-6A provides a high degree of flexibility as a trainer, equally capable of training the beginner pilot or performing training missions well into an advanced curriculum. The T-6A is currently used by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece and the NATO Flying Training in Canada program as a primary trainer and weapons and navigation trainer.
