The Fairchild PT-19 aircraft monoplane primary trainer aircraft that served with the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was a contemporary of the Kaydet biplane trainer and was used by the air force during Primary Flying Training. As with other USAAF trainers of the period, the PT-19 had multiple designation based on the engine installed.
Compared to the earlier biplane trainers, the Fairchild PT-19 provided a more advanced type of aircraft. Speeds were higher and wing loading more closely approximated that of combat aircraft, with flight characteristics demanding more precision and care. The PT-19 truly lived up to its nickname, the Cradle of Heroes. It was one of a handful of primary trainer designs that were the first stop on a cadet's way to becoming a combat pilot.

Mike, this is becoming one of my favorite aviation channels. Your content is awesome. Keep it up!

@LarryjB53 4 года назад

One of the best explanations of how aircraft controls work. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

@unclejacksimulations9423 4 года назад

Holy snap, Mojo! I'm developing this aircraft for flight simulators and this video is a GEM! Studying the heck out of it. Thanks for keeping people aware of this beautiful and historical aircraft =)

@ThePoohlewis 4 года назад

Been up in this plane twice with Bay Aviation and loved it! Very cool experience!!!

@addisonseltzer125 4 года назад

Hey I flew that exact plane through my schools aviation club here in Virginia. Bay aviation is great, awesome experience!

My Dad primaried on the PT-19. Later the AT-6. On to B-25's, P-47's, P then F-51d's and H models. Also a couple versions of the F-86 with the MDANG. He said he could "borrow" a Pt-19 post war from the airfield at APG in Maryland. Flew his friends around in it. RIP Dad.

If you look at Wikipedia's list of most produced aircraft, with few exceptions the list is almost entirely composed of light GA aircraft and WWII combat airplanes. You can't swing a dead cat around an FBO without hitting a half a dozen Cessnas and Pipers but seeing a flying example of any WWII airplane on that list is a red letter day. So few survived. Switching gears a bit, Chuck Yeager spent a fair bit of time in his autobiography talking about how lethal flight training was in the early years of the war. They were throwing young men into high performance pursuit aircraft who didn't have enough flight hours by modern terms to solo cross country a 172 and basically telling them "Good luck" before sending them off. Actual combat was only slightly more lethal.

Took advantage of an offered ride in a '43 model at KCGI in the early 2000s. Purest aviation experience I've ever had, hands down

@garyturner1612 4 года назад

Mike, I love this. My first flying model as a kid was a PT 19. The main wing & the tail section were held together by rubber bands so if you crashed you could often put the thing back together and fly again. Good job!

@leonstefan6183 9 месяцев назад

Not a kid, but back in 71 I had an opertunity to buy 2 pt19's, ( one had a canopy ) and a pt-26 (round engine). I was 22 yrs old, recently married, and a one year old son. The price, $800 ea. Or all three for $2400. I barely had 8 dollars much less $800, so I had to pass. I alway wondered what became of them.

@arnoldjohnson3317 4 года назад

I loved this vid. As a kid I had a PT19 gas powered model I flew till it wouldn’t hold together. Same paint scheme. I had forgotten all about it.

@peterparkin6732 4 года назад

Yes I am starting to watch your channel on a regular basis. Keep up the good work. Almost my most favourite now. Thank you Mike.

Beautiful Bird! Thanks for the video.

@ThePinkPanth3r 3 года назад

I just flew with this guy at the air show, it kicks ass.

@ik04 4 года назад

I helped an old guy rebuild the Ranger engine in his PT-19 and he let me fly it in return!

@markybuddie 4 года назад

Love ya man keep them coming.

@TychoBrahe21 3 года назад

Excellent video. That airplane was used at Spartan, that now operates out of my field KRVS, and my grandfather trained for the war in that airplane. On top of that, the solo at 10 hr remark makes me smile, I soloed at 9!! Great vid!

@Mrjbdesigns 3 года назад

the owner/gentlemen who gave the description was very good at it. i enjoyed his review of the aircraft. I did not know so few of them are still around.

@vintagesimpilot2623 2 года назад

I was able to get about 20 minutes of stick time in a PT-19 a couple of years ago. Felt a little rickety but certainly airworthy. My aunt learned to fly a PT 19 in Sweetwater, TX back during WW2. She was training in the Women's Air Corp. Wonderful plane that I now fly on the sim (Uncle Jack's version).

@johnbell6114 4 года назад

Cool video, never seen one this close. As a kid, a neighbor flew one over our house in Eastern Shore, Maryland, at least 5 or 6 times each Summer. He would wave wings at us kids, my dad said he had learned to fly in one. Open cockpit, what a rush.

@davidhames319 8 месяцев назад

They made a radial version called the PT-23. And also one with a canopy called the PT-26

After my Father purchased a 1938 Ryan SCW in 1952 that had a landing gear malfunction he was able to retro fit a PT-19 gear to it. It was slimmer as the original had a fork style and this on a single side.

Happy landings! great aircraft!

@vanpenguin22 Год назад

In the 60's and 70's, was everybody's Cox .049 tether plane.

@pano-rific8838 4 года назад

Kool plane Mike (as always) ;) I have been watching all kinds of flying/soaring/gliding YT vids for years. You cover quite a few of the most popular aircraft. I just stumbled across one I have never see you cover. It's a STOL Muli-Mission work horse. The KODIAK Advanced STOL turboprop. Please cover this amazing plane. ~ your neighbor

@EdwardSmart 4 года назад

Nice aircraft!

@JFrazer4303 3 года назад

I'd heard somewhere that it handled somewhat like a fighter- which aren't stable or forgiving usually. I always thought it looked basic and well mannered in the air.

@elfenmagix8173 4 года назад

I had the U-Control flying model of that plane by Cox Models. It used the Cox. O49 gas powered engine.

@stigdehliarnesen4829 2 года назад

Great video! 👍 I had the opportunity to be a passenger onboard a Cornell some time ago from Kjeller Airport in Norway. Amazing experience! 😁 But actually I think the Tiger Moth is more narrow than PT-19. I tried the Tiger Moth also. 🙂

@Cheiron19 4 года назад

Interesting aircraft and a pretty informative presentation by the owner. One thing missing and didn't hear it mentioned specifically, but the 14,000 number, which is actually closer to 15,000, was for the AAF only. There was another 3200 in the Naval Aviation program from 12/41 to 12/46. Another thing, while the numbers are enormous, this is for all types of training, and some of this was not basic or primary flight training, it was transition training as well, and some of this was just due to the lack of training versions of complex fighter aircraft. For example, the P-38 Lightning, a massively complex fighter that only had two trainers officially constructed for duel training, you were basically given the "keys" and told to go learn how to fly the plane. Yes, there were training films and familiarity briefings given by experienced instructors, but you know as well as I do that is nothing like having an experienced pilot in the seat beside or behind you making sure you don't "ground" yourself. So imagine you have just soloed in a DA-40 and have maybe 5 - 10 hours in that aircraft, and you are given the keys to a Cessna 310 perhaps and told, "Go learn to fly that thing." Would you take it up?

@flybobbie1449 4 года назад

Going from basic to very advanced never happened. One of my old boy trial lesson customers was a trainee RAF pilot in WW2. He said he did 15 hours basic on Tiger moth in the UK, 30 odd hours in Stearman and then rest up to 120 hours on Harvard in Texas. At that point the war ended and he did no more flying. He was then 18 years old.
