Experience the Pilot Maker
The Spanish Lady is a 1949 North American T-6G Texan. She was originally manufactured by North American Aviation in 1944 as an AT-6D and was used to train allied pilots during World War II. The Texan is two-seat aircraft and served as the advanced single engine trainer during the war. For many pilots, the Texan was the last trainer flown before moving to their combat aircraft. In many ways the Texan was a new pilot's final exam, hence the nickname the Pilot Maker. Between 1 July 1939 and 31 August 1945, a total of 193,440 pilots graduated from Army Air Force advanced flying schools. Most of those logged significant time in a T-6.
Following WWII, The Spanish Lady served as a trainer for the US Air Force in Hondo, Texas until the early '50's and then was transferred to Spain. She served in the Spanish Air Force until the mid-80's as both a close air support aircraft and a trainer. With more than 4 decades of military service, the Spanish Lady is quite remarkable. After retiring from the Spanish Air Force, she returned to the U.S. and received a complete restoration to her "original" condition as a US Air Force T-6G advanced trainer.
We're dedicated to preserving and sharing this historic airplane.
