SNJ-5C air to air pics

Fine aircraft, yes, but, may I ask a question : there are hundreds if not thousands of authentic AND pretty finishes possible for an aircraft like the T-6. So, why are almost all the T-6's painted like some Pipers or Cessnas with just some approximative military markings ? For instance, if I would like to make a quality walkaround for a T-6 book, I would simply not know where to find a T-6 looking authentic.

Jack, do you think thats a fair statement?

Good luck on that Dart Commander 100

Chuck,

Thanks for updating the website. That wing looks incredible. The judges should have deducted points though. I doubt in the day there were any that came out of the factory that smooth

I found a good project candidate for you! I'll post pictures sometime this afternoon.

It's nice to see someone not wearing a helmet

So you have finished this amazing restoration and it is now available to "us" on Courtesy's website? Isn't that kind of hard to do after all that sweat & love? Man, I'd want to keep it and play for some time.

Can you tell us what the next jewel will be?

That is a good looking SNJ!

Are there any others around with the tailhook for carrier training?

[Taylor Stevenson]

A few SNJ-5C still have the hook setup installed with the TW guard. Some SNJ-5C wonnabes have a tailhook installed for show.

[Holedigger]

Just begs the question, Does it have training wheels too?

[Django]

Anyone have any historic photos of SNJs in the Dark Sea Blue? I've seen a couple in tri-color, but not DSB.

It looks really nice restored as such.

[Holedigger]

Perhaps not dark enough or blue enough, but pretty!

Now that's my idea of a car wash! Nice photo! Nice whitewalls too.

Anyone else??
