Dad and I were allowed to take Nathan Davis' beatiful T-6D down to Mount Comfort, hook up with Tim Rumrill, and dad would brush up on his formation and leading, and get his cards renewed.

It'd be criminal for me not to take my camera :)

Great shots Trey, but it is a CJ-6 not YAK.

The CJ has almost identical performance as the T-6 but with much lighter and more responsive controls. Real easy to wax a T-6. Don

Hey now, them's fightin' words!!

Actually I flew formation with a CJ-6 a couple weeks ago and he had no problem keeping up the the T-6. I also fly a YAK 52 and it has to work a little bit to fly with the T-6 (actually the T-6 gets to loaf along).

But the main thing---They are all FUN to fly.

One other thing about the CJ. It keeps up with a T-6 on 13gph. T-6 is 28-32gph. I've owned both and the SNJ was much cooler airplane but the CJ is the better flyer of the two. Don
