Aviation Week lists Paraguay as having two AT6G aircraft on inventory.
Are these actively used?

Do you still have all 12, or where did they all go?

Benno,
I saw both of them at Asuncion in Apr07. By that time "1" was plinth-mounted at the base entrance. "2" was still parked up, but I don't think it flies any more.

Most went to Australia with Rob Poynton (Hillbilly Jack's/Slim's or maybe Cactus Jack's). The Bt was sold here in the states. We built up 2.
#0101 is N3171L is Race 69 and flies rides out of Boeing Field. The other is N3171P race #4 noew with Denny Buehn in Carson City.
I found it Panama Jack's.
