  4. North American SNJ-5

    The North American T-6 Texan/SNJ was a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft used to train fighter pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II. Designed by North American Aviation, The T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The USAAC designated it as the "AT-6", the US Navy the "SNJ", and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard, the name it is best known by outside of the United States. It remains a popular warbird aircraft.
     
    The North American T-6 Texan/SNJ was known as "the pilot maker" because of its important role in preparing pilots for combat. A cantilever low-wing monoplane, the Texan filled the need for a basic combat trainer during WW II and beyond into the 1950's.
     
    U.S. Navy pilots flew the airplane extensively, under the SNJ designation, the most common of these being the SNJ-4, SNJ-5 and SNJ-6. A few models were equipped with tailhooks and used for carrier qualifications.
     
     
    Included are 5 skins:
     
    Instructor Basic Training Unit, NAS Pensacola (Corry Field) 1952
    Basic Training Group One, NAAS Saufley 1956
    Naval Air Reserve Training Command, NAS Glenview 1956

  8. Lockheed TV-1 (TO-1) Training Star

    Due to the slow delivery of new jet fighters and in order to train new jet pilots, the United States Navy in 1947 obtained the transfer of 49 Lockheed P-80Cs destined to the United States Air Force.

With the arrival of the delayed Grumman F9F and McDonnell F2H aircraft, the TV-1s were transferred to reserve squadrons before being phased out of service.
     
    Included here are skins for VF-52 and VMF-311 from 1948. Also included is the Fleet All Weather Training unit at NAS North Island, the missile chase planes at NAS Point Mugu and the Naval Air Reserve at NAS Oakland.

  18. Cuban Revolutionary Air Force T-28A 1961

    Another skin for the skunkwoks T-28A Trojan which can be found in their Third Party section.
    In 1958, the United States allowed the sale and export of 10 T-28A Trojan trainers to the Batista government in Cuba. They were to be used as primary and advanced training aircraft for the FAEC (Fuerza Aerea del Ejercito de Cuba)....the Cuban Air Force.
     
    With the overthrow of the Batista government in 1959, the U.S. placed an immediate embargo on the sale, but four planes had already been delivered. These four fell into the hands of Castro and were placed into service with the FAR(Fuerza Aerea Revolutionaria)....the Cuban Revolutionary Air Force. They were apparently in service during the Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961.....however what(if any) role they played is unknown.

  25. The T-28D and Cambodia...Friend or Foe?

    Although the USA started delivering T-28Ds to Cambodia already in August 1962, the type did not see any prominent service before the early 1970s. In fact, by 1969 most Trojans of the AVRK(Aviation Royale Khmere) were non-operational due to the lack of spares.The Royal Cambodian government had become increasingly hostile to its South Vietnamese neighbors and therefore lost favor with the U.S. government who proptly embargoed service and spare parts for the T-28's.
     
    After Gen. Noi came to power in a 1970 coup, the Cambodian air force was re-named the Aviation Nationale Khmere (AVNK). An attempt was made to restore relations with the American Government and provide limited armed patrols of the Ho Chi Mihn Trail through Cambodia. All T-28D's were brought to operational condition by USAF technicians, and were given new markings which had a striking resembelence to the USAF roundel. AVNK T-28Ds proved highly effective in combat but their operations were hampered by many elements, starting with restrictive orders from the Cambodian regime, right to the U.S. limitations about the amount of ammunition they could spend per single day!
     
     
    These are for your Skunkworks T-28D COIN which can be found in their Third Party Section.
