Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any info on this aircraft.

I believe it is based in Readington NJ (Solberg airport). From what I have found the owner is Kevin Russo. The aircraft is a T-6/SNJ in NAS Pensacola markings.

I saw him this past summer at the Reading WW2 weekend and McGuire AFB.

I am asking because I have seen this plane at several NJ/PA area airshows and have occasionally seen it flying around in my area of NJ.

As far as I know it is my only "local" warbird.

Thanks for any help :)
