Hi Scott,

There is a good amount where it's know what the original was prior becoming a T-6G. However there's not a complete list. And the available data not always accurate since sometimes serials being mentioned which never were issued, or which were allocated to other type of aircraft.

Regards,

Benno

Sounds like an opportunity :)
On the project list it goes.

I started looking at these a while back and, as Benno says, they are a nightmare. The following is a sample of T-6C > T-6G aircraft, using either the 'T-6C' record card annotations or the 'T-6G' rebuild cards. As you can see, s/ns are often repeated and/or don't apply to the T-6 series at all!

I suspect that whoever was responsible for record-keeping either got bored with their job or didn't think it would matter!

Long long ago when Doug Goss owned the first converted T-6G 49-2897, he told me it originally had a 41- serial number - unfortunately it was lost in a crash this past August with its current owner.

I was fortunate to fly N92796:

Originally AT-6D 41-34241

Upgraded to T-6G 51-14827

some of the Gs had the original # on the roll over cap.
