T-6 Racers 1978-1987 Photo CD Review

By Michael Benolkin

Review

Aero Research has released their latest photo reference CD, this covering the T-6 air racers. Here is another nice batch of high-resolution photos of a nice variety of T-6, SNJ, Harvard, etc., all set up for air racing and wearing a WIDE range of colors. I remember one day heading out to the aircraft for a flying lesson in the early 1970s when I heard an interesting racket and here came a procession of several dozen T-6 aircraft, a few of which are in this collection while many others stayed in the Hollywood business. It was the first and only time I'd ever seen a T-6 with a nosewheel as someone had converted it to a Yak before inexpensive real Yaks could be had in this country.

Once again I used my image browser to scan through the aircraft on the disc and I was quite impressed with the selection of aircraft. In this release, there are a great selection of aircraft, many of which have been imaged from various angles so you can catch all of the livery and logos that were carried on these machines.

For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information for replicating warbirds for a change of pace. For the enthusiast and modeler alike, you can browse through a nice variety of high-resolution images of some very nice aircraft!

This is a nice selection of imagery that you won't find available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!

You can purchase this reference or any of their other photo CDs directly from their website www.aeroresearchcds.com or via email AeroResearch@Charter.net.

My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
