The SNJ at San Diego CGS makes me think of when I stared at those houses in 1957 wishing I was there, not in boot camp at MCRD. I wouldn't do it again but wont ever forget it either. As we use to say Gung Ho times.

Man! That guy was given more than his fair share of abuse.

You've got to admit, the T-6/SNJ is a gooood lookin' airplane!

Let's crop that first photo down:

Check it out: including a rudder at the far left, I count 16 Northrop BT-1s - aka the father of the SBD! That's nearly a third of the whole production run. I really love finding shots of these obsolete 1930s planes still in use during the war.

An owner is looking for a new scheme for his SNJ-4
Always happy to help if I can. I'm certain there's other SNJ WIXer experts out there who have some good ideas as well. Hope ya find a good one.

Bare with me as I reload some of these photos from an old photobucket account I no longer use.

Any idea what if any colors the Norfolk SNJ's wore?
