The first flight involved an early seventies cessna 172 skyhawk. More on that later.
My second flight was in an actual WWII SNJ/AT6 Texan, built by North American Avation back in 1958 according to the FAA registry ( but I'll have to check production records to verify that. Maybe it's older??) Using a Pratt & Whitney R1340 Radial engine, this aircraft was called the 'pilot maker' back in the days of WWII. It was used to train fighter pilots prior to their actual assignments to fighter training groups.
