  2. LOL, yeah, our guys did the same things with the T-6s and N-2Ns back in the 40s and 50s... LOTS of trains with flattened drive wheels out West! :-)

  4. I does look like a T-6. The Navy called them SNJ's. They were used as flight trainers in the early fifties in Pensacola. This one looks like it has mounts under the wings; perhaps for munitions. The paint scheme doesn't look like a warbird.

    Peter notes that there are two other T-6's behind the closest one. He also has an image taken a second or so later. It's no photoshop.

  5. Cool photo but - I'd certainly be more animated than the guys on the beach (especially the fellow closest to the water) if I saw an airplane coming at me and look at the shadow angles of the men on the beach and the aircraft. The sun would have to be in two locations.

    Mother Nature being the bitch she is I'd say PhotoShop.
