So anyone know who was flying this T-6 around Dallas last Saturday afternoon? I would love to see if they had a camera on board....

There was also a yellow T6 over Plano on Saturday afternoon. Doing continous circles for awhile and then heading back North, maybe out of McKinney airport.

That third shot has the N Number in it if your original has good enough resolution to read it. A search on the FAA registry would at least give you the owner, and possibly who was flying it.

You don't even need to do that - just put the N number in Google.............

Thanks, I should have looked at my photos from the open cockpit day, I have several shots of it. He must know someone in Plano as he was buzzing someones house and making a guy at the gas station very worried he was going to crash.

N3518G didn't even tell Rudy he had hit him at OSH, just flew away.

Happened here at Salem a couple years ago. A friend in his Stearman drove over a C-172 wing-tip to wing-tip. It was ugly!!

Isn't that grounds for an FAA certificate action? Leaving the scene of an aviation mishap?
