We will get started with this one of kind of aircraft.  In all appearances this could be a Cessna 172 or to the effect.  Used in Vietnam to help scout out enemy locations and help with rescues.  <br />
<br />
There is a really great movie that starred Gene Hackman and Danny Glover called "BAT 21".  The movie was about where they had to look for a well known Colonel who was shot down who was played by Gene Hackman.  <br />
<br />
Danny Glover played the pilot who flew an aircraft very much like this one who go help to find him.  <br />
<br />
The movie was based on a true story and would show just how much our military would go through Hell to bring that Colonel back to safety.

  • Not sure what this aircraft is but I heard it had some Australian connections.  I love the paint work on it.

  • The T-1 Jayhawk<br />
<br />
An aircraft used as a trainer in several ways.  I've heard Tanker pilots and transport will train in this aircraft before moving in the next phase of being pilot flying jets.

  • The T-6 Texan - This is another trainer aircraft used by the Air Force.  This is the aircraft you would train in long before you get your hands on an F-16.
