Might anyone have a photo of a Spanish T-6 during its service?
I am particularly looking at the antenna configurations.
Thx in advance.

Please allow me to piggyback on this question.

I know there is some black on the undersides of natural metal Spanish T-6's. Does anyone have a decent picture of the entire underside?

Vlado,

I believe Ray Stutsman is still alive. He imported the lions share of Spanish T-6's, and may have photo's...

As an aside...a friend has a former Spanish T-6 done in yellow 50s USAF colors.

Its interior is an odd shade of green, more of a forest (slightly blueish) green and not zinc chromate. He says it's original from its last IRAN.

Morey from Lance Aircraft imported several as well. I'm sure he has pictures of some of the planes he brought over.

The link to the Spanish site is perfect. It shows the antenna details needed.
Mucho (ESP) thx!
