I was curious as to who has the most original unrestored example of a T-6 or SNJ out there that is still flying??
My money is on Chuck Wahl's example as best restored SNJ but what about original unmolested examples?

I have seen that airplane Matthias and while for sure original in most respects I was thinking more of a 1940's era USAAF or USN example....Sorry I should have been more specific.

Skeets Mehrer's SNJ-5B N7979C is original and unrestored except for the 1340 and a 30+ years old paint job.
