WOW
Just did my Xmas present from the wife yesterday - 4/1.
It was an hour of flying a T-6 Texan above Kissimmee, FL at WarBird Adventures (http://www.warbirdadventures.com).
It was a blast. I'll post some more pictures as soon as I resize em

They have a warbirds restoration facility there also:

Very sad. I saw some pictures of this crashed plane. The cockpit seemed to be in one piece, but unfortunately both the pilot and a student have died.


LAst Jan. I attended Tom Reilly's Warbirds Restoration School. Had a time of my life. If you guys have a chance take the class.


Included in a class was an AT-6 flight
