There are some great shots of the T-6Ds and LT-6Gs flying with the FAC Mosquitos in that first link. However, all the captions give the typo L-6G. For anyone looking for more info on the 6147th Mosquitos, look for 'Mosquitos in Korea' by then unit historian Bill Cleveland. It was published by the association back in '91.

Fantastic photos. Thanks for the link.

Of particular interest to me were the damaged Corsair with a light blue star and "NAVY" titles (I thought they were always white), and the A-26 (I guess "B-26" by the time they were in Korea) with the radar nose.

The -5N Corsair with the light blue star and markings was Lt Guy Bordelon's aircraft. The aircraft was wrecked after Bordelon was semt home.
