Flying is one of the most dreamt about things a person can do. You can take your passion for history and adventure by taking to the skies in a vintage warbird, SNJ-56.
Built in 1944, the T-6 (aka Texan, Harvard, Yale, J-Bird or Mosquito) was a very versatile plane. It was designed as a training aircraft but was put to use as a fighter too.
A flight in this one-of-a-kind aircraft is a must do for any aviation enthusiasts. We can even set up a custom tour so you can visit the aviation museum before or after your flight, ask us!
