Thanks for the correction on Owl's head. It's not a correct restoration as you can see, the cockpit was re-done with some modern comforts and updated panel, 2 GPS's 2 Comm's etc. The plane was painted in the honor of a family friends' Uncle Edwin Vance, who was shot down in a P-51 on June, 11th 1944 dive bombing a bridge trying to stop an armored column headed toward Carentan, France, where the 506th PIR, 82nd Airborne "Band of Brothers" were leading the breakout. The 506 took Carentan, the next morning. Edwin is buried in the National Cemetary there. He was in the 9th airforce, so flew tactical, in addition to escort in the P-51. the markings were taken from photo's of his P-51. I wanted to honor his service and sacrifice, couldn't afford a P-51, so it ended up on a T-6.
It flies perfect, does great slow aerobatics. I've strafed lots of freight trains with it.
I think the plane in the reflection in the spinner is a Baron.
