Description
This North American T-6 Harvard Mk4 looked to me like a standing minion with a propeller hat! Demonstrating a vertical contrail at the Geneseo National Warplane Museum airshow, John “Skipper” Hyle is the owner and operator of this 1952 North American Harvard Mk. IV “J’s Bird”. The North American Harvard (NA-26) appeared in late 1937, in response to a US Army Air Corps proposal for an advanced trainer. It immediately attracted orders from the USAAC, RAF, RCAF and other air forces. The first of 50 Harvard Mk. Is ordered by the Canadian Government were delivered to the RCAF at Sea Island, Vancouver in July 1939. By early 1940, the Mk II was on the assembly line in California with an all metal fuselage replacing the original tube and fabric structure. 1200 Mk. IIs were supplied from US sources until Canadian-built.
