- You Are There! Come along as I fly my North American AT-6D. I'll give you a little introduction to the plane, as we do a pre-flight inspection and cockpit tour. Then we'll take her up for a spin. Might even do a snap roll. It's going to be a lot of fun, so come aboard. - Kermit Weeks (20121218)

One of my VERY FAVORITE birds!
Excellent film footage and sound. Great commentary.
Another great plane. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi there Kermit! I sometimes enjoy nice footage on your you tube channel that tell me detail of many airplane that I can't find through magazines. I, as an Japanese who wasn't a bad student of English class, can learn many points that only those people who take care and handle each airplane. Of course your words and personality are excellent for watchers. Keep on sending these series of footage. Have a great holiday and new year.
Can't wait for part 2! Love these videos, thanks so much!
As usual, an awesome video Kermit, looking forward to part 2.
Excellent video! I'm really looking forward to the next part! And I hope you will upload many more of these videos. It's a great way to learn a little bit about these wonderful airplanes :)
A very good set up on the Pre Flight and tour around. looking forward to part 2. :)
Awesome. Thanks Kermit!
Also the engine is an r 1340 made by Pratt and Whitney
Good evening, my name is Friend Deming and I currently work at Threshold Aviaiton and fly out of KCNO and KRIR. I will begin my flight training in a SNJ-4 located at KCNO soon. I am thankful for these videos and am hoping to meet you sometime soon. Clear skies and tail winds.
Probably a small nut or washer rolling around. Nothing to worry about. Doesn't effect flying, as evident by its performance in the video.
as all ways Kermit great work
That's the one plane I would rather be a passenger. Imagine facing backwards in that thing with some nut at the stick flying maneuvers?? Jeez...wild ride to say the least.
Aaaah Kermit, one of my fave aircraft! Known as the Harvard where I come from :)
Hi Kermit, Thank you for this excellent video! One question remained in my head after viewing this part 1: what happened with the lose part inside the left elevator and what was it?
I just went up in one of those =)
I wonder how many planes were shot up before take off because of how long it takes to start up and taxi?
These videos are fantastic! I havent flown a T-6/SNJ in 9 years but I almost feel current after watching this. Its a excellent point of view for learning more about the aircraft in your museum while seeing them in actual operation from the pilots perspective through pre-flight and shutdown. Kinda like JayLenosGarage here on youtube but with airplanes. Thanks for making and sharing these.
Hey Kermit, Is that a C47 I see in the background
Hey Kermit i saw an a in Texas and I didn't have a propeller
How much maintenance prone are they? And how difficult are they to restore? There's a gate guard one that might come onto the market
It was the word I forgot
Would it be possible to visually convert a Texan into a SBD Dauntless look alike
In the 1970s a lot of at-6s were converted to look like Japanese zeroes
Take us up in an F4U.....
Payton manning snow
650hp out of a junior wasp?
Make sure mags are off! 🙄
I second this idea!---even if its just for teaching good safety practices. C'mon Kermie!
At6 my mestake
Hi Kermit , i'd like to ask you a question. First i'm french so sorry if my English is wrong. So my question is , is that your job to fly on those legendary planes ? Or you're just a guy who loves planes and fly such an hobbie on those planes ?
Kermit when were you born? because you were in WWII and you look like you were born in the fifties.
Love the technical explanations, as always. It's rather surprising that they'd make a trainer w/features that could easily kill a novice pilot (i.e.:wing taper & narrow landing gear). I don't see the benefit to killing cadets.
+neomuttley The AT-6 was part of the advanced pilot training. It wasn't the first aircraft trainees were placed in. They would transition from lower performance aircraft like the Stearman, to the BT-9, then to the AT-6. It was a performance aircraft meant to be a last ride before getting to the big leagues and if you could handle it, you were ready. Despite being a trainer, its an aircraft to be respected and loved.
+Sultros Drunknsage Thanks.
NP. If you ever get a chance to catch a ride in one, do it. Im hoping to this summer in Galveston TX.
+Sultros Drunknsage: I've been up in Collins' B-17, which was a treat. I really want a ride in a P47, but know it'll probably never happen :(...
