T-6A JPATS Texan II Canvas Print

In January 2003, Training Squadron FOUR (VT-4) initiated instructor orientation flights in the T-6A "Texan II", the joint Air Force/Navy platform slated to replace the T-34C as the Primary phase syllabus trainer. The T-6A "Texan II" is a single engine, two-seat trainer which is fully aerobatic. It features a pressurized cockpit, a G-tolerance enhancement system and dual zero-zero ejection seats. The T-6A utilizes a state-of-the-art digital cockpit to help familiarize students with what they will encounter in their fleet tours. In August 2003, VT-4 marked its first training flight in the T-6A "Texan II". In April 2005, VT-4 completed the transition to the T-6A "Texan II" and flew its last T-34C "Turbomentor" student sortie. Since its commissioning, VT-4 has amassed over 600,000 flight hours. The squadron has logged 42,000 carrier landings. Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered by the Artist.
