Is it just me, or are T-6 Texans notorious for landing gear issues?
ReplyDeleteit was not a gear issue, The T-6 is a difficult plane to land, it has narrow gear, and is short coupled with a lot of mass on the nose. During WWII, if you could fly a 6, you could fly anything as most fighters of the day were easier to land than a 6. It was said that if you started out in a F8F Bearcat, then transitioned to a P-51, after you learned to fly those, you were ready to learn how to fly a T-6.
