This definitely brings back some fond memories of my 146 hours training in a Harvard in the RNZAF when I was a mere eighteen years old, throwing them around the sky in a very similar fashion including all of the manoeuvres, although not so close to the ground apart when we were being trained for low flying. Thanks for the lovely photography including the inside cockpit shots, and also the ground shots of the same action, very nice indeed.
I'm sure glad I had the headphones on for this!!! What a brilliant mix using this Van Morrison song with stunning video & the sound of that radial engine!!!
In most cases, the British gave American aircraft their own names. The Grumman F4F became the Martlet. The Curtiss P-40 became the Tomahawk. And the T-6 became the Harvard.
I work not far from Biggin Hill in Kent and hear the Merlin sound every day this time of year, but never get bored of watching and listening to it go over giving people pleasure rides in the two seater's they have based at Biggin. One of the best engine sounds ever - a mechanical masterpiece.
The best video I've seen of a T-6 !!! Clear, clear up close, the perfect sound!!! It's like sitting on the grass enjoying the spectacle of this beautiful plane and the majesty of this pilot's flight. Congratulations !!! A hug from Costa Rica, Central America
