Anybody have a source for good overhead profile views or line drawings for the T33 and T6?

Working on a nesting analysis, how many warbirds can you fit in a ten pound "hangar"? :lol:

Might try the following:

T-6
blueprint
http://www.aviationshoppe.com/catalog/n ... p-102.html

www.airpages.ru/cgi-bin/pg2.pl?page=drawt6g
(other nice drawings here as well)

T-33
www.combataircraft.com/aircraft/tt33.asp

No dimension given, tho....Might try Jane's All the World's Aircraft for specs.

Kind of poor quality, but here's an overhead image of a T-6 I used for a nesting exercise of my own:

It'll get more dangerous when we ask you to ante up your fraction for the purchase and restock the beeridgerator regularly.

Sorry I missed it Tom. I had a work conflict and couldn't get the time off. Sounds like it was a blast. I'll get the debrief from Kay since a bunch of the T-33 owners were going to do a mind meld.

Nobody seemed to know - Nebraska somewhere - I'm afraid it will become a painted airplane and sit forever - I was told they just put $90K of new avionics and flight control work into as well :cry:
