The Museum's T-6G is a rebuilt AT-6C (AAF 42-3890) of 1942, redelivered by North American's Downey, CA, plant in May 1951. It served with USAF Training Command at Spence Air Force Base, Georgia, from June 1951 until retired to Davis Monthan in March 1955. First registered as N9882C in March 1959, it was damaged in an accident in 1961 and stored until rebuilt in 1985. Now registered N-85JR, this T-6G joined the Museum in 1986 and has been painted as an SNJ of the Minneapolis Naval Air Reserve.
