The most used training aircraft for the Allied World War II, participated in Stord Airshow 2018

North American T-6 Texan var eit avansert fly. Det flaug første gang i 1935 og er såleis ein flytype som er meir enn 80 år gammalt. Denne flytypen var det viktigaste treningsflyet for dei allierte pilotane under andre verdskrig. Etter trening på dette flyet fekk pilotane sluttopplæring på den flytypen dei skulle gjera teneste på.
Når flyet var i kanadisk eller britisk teneste, fekk flyet namnet North American T- 6 Harvard. Flyet som deltok på Stord laurdag 16. juni, var nettopp ein Harvard.
