Meet North American T-6 Texan
The T-6 family used a single radial engine, a low wing and tandem cockpits to prepare pilots for more demanding aircraft. Different armed forces used different designations, with Harvard becoming familiar across the British Commonwealth and SNJ in US Navy service.
The family later became common in civilian warbird flying and air racing. National production and service variations brought different equipment, while restored aircraft can have modern additions. Those distinctions are useful when matching a simulator cockpit with a historical reference.
