Take a Ride in an AT-6 (pilots view)

Shot in Destin Florida this past weekend. Talk about fun. High Def Back Seat Shots coming of formation flying and bomb run. This is shot from the front seat doing some fun flying.

Facts about the plane...

North American developed a fabric-covered two-seat trainer known as the BT-9, which led to an metal-skinned version designated the BT-14, and a related type known as the NA-26. The BT-14 was a fixed landing gear aircraft (see http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/early_years/ey18.htm for a color photo), and it in turn was developed into a more refined version with retractable gear, designated the AT-6. Known as the AT-6 Texan to the USAAF, as the SNJ to the U.S. Navy, and as the Harvard to the Commonwealth air forces, the T-6 was the most universally used military training aircraft of all time. More than 17,000 examples of a number of versions were built, a number of which still fly today. Most all of the U.S. pilots in World War II flew this aircraft at one time in their career.

Great footage, but do you have a version with the engine sound and no music?
