Why are the T-6 and T-28 in the same thread? About the only things they have in common are that they both have radial engines and were built by the same company.

Two things that I can think of.  !.  They're both North American built/designed aircraft.  2.  They were both used as primary basic trainers by the military during their service.

Kaspar started the thread to include both aircraft and there were a lot of replies in a short amount of time and we were brand new at this forum stuff and didn't know how to separate things into different threads and didn't want to irritate members with requests to delete and repost stuff when the group was brand new with what might appear to be heavy-handed moderator stuff that seems to be one of the number one contributors to people leaving internet forums.  Not the ideal solution, but honestly pretty low on my list of pet peeves with the forum.

T-6G 'Silver Streak' climbing out from DVT. Somebody who had been talking to the pilot said they were basing this at Falcon Field, although it is registered in Carson City, NV.

From the AZWING CAF Veteran's Day 2009 event.  Right place at the right time I guess.

Some days you'd rather be lucky than good. Nice catch.

Caught not one but two T-6s in the pattern at Falcon Field this evening.

Certainly not as dramatic as Joe's offerings above but...

[Dave S.]

Aircraft just starting to flare, with a little bit of lens flare thrown in for good measure.

A different kind of short stack ...
