I don't know about the photo, which is neat, but I'm pretty sure two has lost sight of one looking at the stack-up and angle!

The look gray and black to me. I never was very good with colors though.

The unit is BTU-3, based at Saufley Field in Florida, about 10 miles from Pensacola. The paint scheme is yellow with a black glare shield. The paint scheme would look basically like this one:

Oh, and the color scheme would be about 1953-1954.

Jack, at first I thought that maybe you were trying to trick us with a picture of a couple of modern day T-6s with the photo just in black and white, however once I saw that the pilots were wearing helmets, then I knew that it couldn't be from modern times. Rarely do T-6 guys wear helmets anymore. :roll:

VG is correct BTU-3 from Saufley field around 1953 on a formation flight.
Nice looking SNJ in your photo. It's just to bad no one can seem to get the fuselage star correct. Mike VBC has one he was restoring back to complete original like he did HJBG but he sold it to Tim Savage.
Send me your address and I'll toss some photos in the mail :!:

I told you once before Jack- you should make book about the US aviation history

Thanks Jack! The SNJ in the photo is from the CAF So-Cal wing based in Camarillo. It was taken on a beautiful December day over Camarillo, CA in 2006. I was riding in the back of Chris Rushing's T-6 "Sugarfoot" to snap that shot. Terry Cedar was flying the SNJ with Mark Matye in the back seat.
