Ultimate Military Trainer
October 9 - 11, 2009
You will not want to miss this chance of a lifetime in experiencing an unforgettable flight in two incredible aircraft from EAA's own collection of military AAC trainers. The Consolidated PT-3 and the North American T-6 are both legends of both primary and advanced military training. You will receive in depth history and ground schools on what is perhaps the most unique period of military trainer history - the 1930s. Participants will have the rare opportunity to actually fly the only remaining airworthy Consolidated PT-3, nicknamed "Trusty". In addition, you will take a second flight in the famed "pilot maker" the North American T-6. All flights include a pre-flight briefing on the aircraft and its controls. EAA’s own pilots and instructors will perform the take-off then demonstrate in the air how the controls work- then it is your turn! The grace of the PT-3 and the speed and power of the T6 will give you a truly memorable flight experience that can only be experienced here at EAA. “This is the ultimate interactive experience”.
