My Ride in a Texan

In the summer of 1998, I went for a ride in a T-6 Texan. The 30-minute flight was purchased from North American Top Gun. During the flight, I was able to fly several maneuvers, including chandelles, aileron rolls, and loops.

The package included a video of the flight. Most of the images below are screencaps from that video. The Texan flight was a great experience. I can recommend it to others.
