The road south of Reese Technology Center (formerly Reese Air Force Base) at Lubbock, Texas is now a 4 lane "highway" but the aircraft approach sure looks kinda familiar (though the planes I ducked were T-38s and T-37s).

Can't be Dauntless (was my 1st thought too), cuz shape of tail fin is different.
Could be Vultee BT-13 or BT-15...

Edit:

I think it's BT-13 (pre/early war markings)

Wrong fin for a BT-13.

Go with the BT-9.

Hard to tell from that awful photo,

but I think it is a North American BC-1, one of the 'intermediate" designs that led from the bt-9 to the at-6 texans.  Essentially, it was a bt-9 with an aluminum fuselage, and a revised wing.

Not to be confused with the BC-1A or -1B, both of which had the later (at-6) style tail.

difficult to say...
no bt 13 becouse tail shape different..
no at-6 becouse gear with no air protections and tail..
may be a BT-9  B model
.....but something does not convince to me :rolleyes:
i mean the shape under the pland just behind the engine...

May be rshubert
say rigth about ..... transition model

Gezz Heretik.. ya got me on that one and I'm a MOPAR diehard... (The Car) I should have paid a bit more to detail of the fenders.

It's actually a 1941 Plymouth P11 Staff Car

The plane is BT-9/NJ-1/Yale.. I'd lean toward the NJ-1

Well, to tell the difference between these EXTREMELY similar models (NJ-1, AT-9, BC-1) we will need a better picture.  This one is porked.
