Background:
“The
Pilot Maker” was the name the North American T-6 Texan earned over the years.
With over 17,000 produced in several versions these planes trained countless
thousands of would-be pilots from every corner of the world. This little plane
had a 58- year career in military service from 1938 until 1996 when the South
African Air Force became the last air force in the world to retire their T-6.
Even after most military retired the plane hundreds if not thousands of them
found a new life in civilian service.
In 1942 the Columbus Army Flying School was established. From
1946 until 1950 the base was inactive but between 1951 and 1955 it re-opened
and graduated 7,412 new pilots. T-6G Texan 49-3477 MSN 168-611 was delivered to
the USAF on July 12, 1951. In August 1951 the aircraft served with the 3302nd
Pilot Training School until July 1952 when it was sent to the 3301st PTS in
Columbus. In November 1953 the aircraft was put into storage and eventually
sold to the Royal Hellenic Air Force in 1958.
