Neediing Some T-6 Time, please

[Bill Greenwood]

If anyone will have their T-6 at Oshkosh and has a spare seat open that they'd like to share, I would really like to renew my T-6 fetish. I have never owned one, but have been lucky enough to have friends share theirs with me. We used to have 2 based on our field here, but the owners passed on. I probably got 10 hours solo in them and bout that much dual also.One owner had taught in 6s in the war, the other had flown in combat in Korea, so it was special to fly with them. Really good airplane! I have a T-6 rating, ok I know its not actually a type rating,. Ive flown about 5 different models of 6s and SNJs and even got to fly a Harvard in Canada. That was a hold your breath flight since it had the original type mixture control where you pull it aft for full rich, just opposite of U S planes. I kept repeating to myself on landing, "Dont touch that mixture knob." I'd never flown a Harvard before and Im responsible for the owners nice plane. Other than the mixture it was easy.

So if you have a seat open for any flight outs at EAA or local flights Id love to tag along. Of course, not for free, I would contribute to costs and I know what it costs. I am somewhat qualified as a mech and familiar with normal service on T-6 etc. I do have formation and acro ratings , but am a little rusty at T-6 acro. I don't have any warbird trading plane right now, but a turbo Bonanza.
Thanks
