Anybody have photo(s) of an Iraqi T-6/SNJ/Harvard/Texan?

Latest Air Classics has a photo of wreckage  in Iraq taken by a Marine
officer.

Nope Tom, but check out all the other Texan/Harvard profiles in Wings
Palette:

As far as accuracy goes, it's internet... but it sure is fun! It was
looking at this site that got me excited about doing a MiG17 collection.

Thanks, Stephen. I'll check it out.

The Iraqi Texan may have been a defector from Iran or even a civilian
aircraft.

Thanks again. What a great site!

The one that really jumped out at me was the ChiCom PT-19. As drawings
are always a representaton of what the artist sees I would love to find
the book mentioned, Aircraft of the Chinese Civil War, or something
like that.

I'll add it to my favorites list.

Cheers,

Tom

Isn't that the coolest, or what?? Maybe some schemes are spurious, but
who cares!! Regarding bookmarks/favorites, I've found that they don't
work for that site for some reason. So I just google in each time.

Watch out; if you're into small air forces, like I am, you may have your
modeling projects laid out for the next 5 years using that site.

Thanks for the tip on bookmarking the site. I rely on Lynne to do that
for me, I'm pretty illiterate on the computer :-(  I know how to access
favorite subjects, but not how to add to the list. Hell, I still have
to learn how to save the day's work to a disk and set up flow pages for
ESM 72!

SAFO and Insignia are still the best sources on small air forces. This
site, though, when they mention sources, is wonderful. I found another
dozen great illustrations in just a half hour of browsing.

As to adding another five years of projects:I have at least a dozen
started projects and another twenty wanna do projects already. I just
added the ChiCom PT-19 and I'm looking for the book mentioned in the
caption.

Maybe I can return the favor. A friend just sent me a big download of
scores of photos of aircraft accidents and incidents. Some are
familiar, others new to me. The "Omygod!" quotiant is huge. Most do not
have captions and leave gnawing questons.

Try: http://www.micom.net/oops. Add AussiePilotPropellorStory.jpg for
the best, and most unusual, of the bunch.

Let me know how you like it.

Thanks again,

Tom

Thanks Tom; I've bookmarked that site. Hours of entertainment!
