davenport49 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 I'm researching the T-6 as used at Bartow AFB, Lakeland, Fl, in the mid-'50s. Memory is vague and I don't recall if they were canary yellow or tangerine orange. Can someone help? Any color photos, perhaps? And if you know the appropriate FS number, that would be extremely helpful.
ghodges Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 If you're trying to rely on memory alone, they were almost assuredly "trainer yellow" and never orange. Trainer yellow was a common color for many trainers in the '50s. Below is a link to a T-6G color image page that shows pics, as well as some decal sheets that are available for that scheme. Hope this helps! https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=574864701&q=T-6G+Texan+trainer+color+images&tbm=isch&source=univ&fir=L3qC8SfKbEXnBM%2CuwkmeSKdEUKvrM%2C_%3BJEXXM8JT_VTNcM%2CC3TmUs7VEL8yTM%2C_%3BNv6VS3OYe7iqlM%2CuwkmeSKdEUKvrM%2C_%3BZoAJy8ysHDO-1M%2C5Xi0ERKYqSfr1M%2C_%3BoJdFp35kAIWa0M%2CuwkmeSKdEUKvrM%2C_%3B1R6ZFI6AXs6dRM%2C7jduaQ--PM-yLM%2C_%3BP-9ZhK-vo4xrSM%2CC3TmUs7VEL8yTM%2C_%3BiVl9NyKh0jIF_M%2Chd--Uhwfk761LM%2C_%3Br97Fv5LmKHHR9M%2CuVQflvP8A3VXSM%2C_%3Bk2ONJ6TGbsfVRM%2CI4SUpXOk2-AeZM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kTq82gP65jU0qAh9dG0SUPFxmrL8Q&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjP9p-lvIKCAxVTVTABHcwCDWIQjJkEegQIDhAC&biw=1366&bih=649&dpr=1 Gil
