Carl Best's T-6G

A few admittedly poor pictures of Carl's plane in the DFW Hangar this morning. Weather sucked so we didn't make it to DFW and thus the R4D's not in the hangar yet and thus I didn't get anything of it out in the open either.

Will try to get better pictures on a nicer day and will post them then.

CAP Flyer, Thanks for posting the photos of our T-6G. Looks kinda forlorn sitting in the cold dark hangar all alone. Yup, weather sucks here in Dallas today. Even the ducks are walking. Sorry to hear your mission to DFW got scrubbed. Hope you all get the R4D inside soon.

Thanks for posting those -- I haven't seen any shots of the airplane since Carl sent me some first flight shots a decade ago. Actually it still looks much the same, but thanks anyway!

Maybe some day Carl will quit flying it long enough to paint the poor thing...

I like the way it is now personally. Kinda funny to watch people start asking about if it's a Russian copy and where it came from, etc.

Carl's been told that it looks like a Heineken Can with that star

I like it personally...
