VULTEE BT-13A VALIANT WALKAROUND

VULTEE - BT-13A Valiant - VH-JKV - Tyabb - 2016

One of the fabulous antique aeroplanes on show at Tyabb Airshow in 2016 was this Vultee BT-13A. I'm sure these classic aircraft are now in better condition than they ever were, even when leaving the factory. From Wikipeadia: The Vultee BT-13 Valiant was an American World War II-era basic trainer aircraft built by Vultee Aircraft for the United States Army Air Corps, and later US Army Air Forces. A subsequent variant of the BT-13 in USAAC/USAAF service was known as the BT-15 Valiant, while an identical version for the US Navy was known as the SNV and was used to train naval aviators for the US Navy and its sister services, the US Marine Corps and US Coast Guard.
