*EXECUTIVE SILENT AUCTION*

1-Hour Flight in AT-B Texan out of Palo Alto

Here's your chance to pilot an iconic World War Warbird! Spend an hour behind the controls of this awesome aircraft with a CFI who offers flight training in a pristine T-6, from introductory fights to full insurance checkouts.


Initially assigned to Bryan Air Force Base, in the 1940s and '50 the plane passed through several pilot training schools from coast to coast, gradually making its way to California, where it was retired in 2006.


The North American Aviation T-6 was the preeminent single-engine advanced training aircraft used by the United States, United Kingdom and other Allied Air Forces during WWII to prepare pilots to fly fighters.


Powered by a 600-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp radial engine and known by a variety of names - Texan by the US Army Air Forces, SNJ by the US Navy, and Harvard by the British Commonwealth Air Forces - the T-6 remained in active military service in South Africa as late as 1995.


Of the 14,300 manufactured, only 500 of these warbirds are still flying. So don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity!
