Kestrel Flight Part 2 

My flight from June 14th on "Checkers!"
Checkers, a T-6, is a G model aircraft and was produced in 1952. It was taken on Strength/Charge with the United States Army Air Force with serial number 5114913 that same year. It has a Pratt and Whitney R1340, 9-cylinder radial engine with 600 horsepower and carries 110 gallons of fuel and 10 gallons of oil. Carrying a crew of two, it was equipped with two .30 caliber machine guns during its military days, located in the nose and wing. The opposite wing carried a camera to review the pilot’s target footage. Though disabled, Checkers retains the barrel of one machine gun, visible in the nose. (Copied from The Kestrel Warbirds site)
My pilot that day was the awesome Wes Davis!
