The day started off at Indianapolis International at 730, and dad let me fly over to IL from the front seat while he coached me on the finer points of instrument flying on the way. We (namely I) forgot the time-change from Indiana to Illinois, so we arrived an hour early. We found our airport (not even on a sectional!) and went to another airport in Paris, IL to fuel up. Here are a few shots from Paris.

The Arrivals

Just imagine 10 T-6's just raining down on a little 2500' grass strip, and this shot just shows the seemingly never-ending line of Texans that filed in!

I do like the Spanish schemed one - looks like a great day.

Thanks for the pics.

Nice photos! Small correction though, the number 39 T-6 is now owned by David Folk. His old tri-color T-6 was sold to a new owner. One of the Schiffer boys owns the Spanish T-6. Looks like it was a fun day, wish I would have known about it.

Still interested in the designation of the Hydromatic props on three of those T-6s (#39, #101 and 286787), under what authority they were installed, what they were originally used on and how much they cost... Anyone have info?

Interesting observation. "Experiment-lite"? What is the performance difference I wonder?

A couple of generic shots too...

Image

My un-artistic attempt at framing and composition.
Image

If you haven't taken a picture of polished steel and appear in that same picture, shame on you! (And this was the only angle I could get the most T-6's in the reflection)
Image

Image

Probably my favorite...
