[Leica] IMG: From My Favorite Spot

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for commenting, George.  The AT-6 and its Navy equivalent, the 
SNJ, were the advanced trainers of choice during WWII, and are still air 
show favorites.  Most aviation observers agree with you on its beauty.  
It is also renowned for its ability to convert 100/130 octane fuel into 
noise!

Glad you liked it.
