__________________________________...From WIKIPEDIA:<br />_________________________________________________<br /><br />"The AT-9 was purposely designed to be less stable and proved to be difficult to fly or land, which made it particularly suitable for teaching new pilots to cope with the demanding flight characteristics of a new generation of high-performance, multi-engined aircraft such as the Martin B-26 Marauder and Lockheed P-38 Lightning.<br /><br />Because of its difficult flying characteristics the AT-9 was not offered for sale to civilians after the war, although many non-flying examples were given to ground schools for training purposes."<br />_________________________________________________John Robert Mallernee, KB3KWS, in Vernal, Utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663667887010646435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-28054606843334015412019-11-29T18:45:27.990-08:002019-11-29T18:45:27.990-08:00Curtis Jeep!Curtis Jeep!SCOTTtheBADGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-50025839770253075012019-11-29T14:24:26.185-08:002019-11-29T14:24:26.185-08:00That would be a cool bird to fly.That would be a cool bird to fly.Cederqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603951063463035196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-62296971673554409182019-11-29T12:52:06.863-08:002019-11-29T12:52:06.863-08:00Fledgling: another ripe example for the Chevy Nova...Fledgling: another ripe example for the Chevy Nova School of Poor Product Naming.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378942794118371218noreply@blogger.com
