Went to a local airshow today and it was just the usual fare of personal A/C. Nothing really impressive until this Beech AT-11 landed in Netherlands scheme. I've never seen one but it was like a miniature bomber, with a nose and top turrent, based on the old twin engine Beechcaft that I,ve flown in a few times.

Standard USAAF Bomb/Nav trainer from WWII! You didn't happen to get any snaps of the interior...?

 

I took some outside pics and some looking through the nose then my battery went away. I'lltry to post them.

Here are a couple of AT-11 cockpit shots I found on the interweb..can't vouch for how "stock" the configuration is.

And here are some detail shots I took of the AT-11 at the U.S. Air Force Museum. First up, the bombay...

And here's the belly. I believe the circular opening is a strike camera port, and the aft opening is for reeling out a sleeve target.
