This folder contains a repaint for the A2A North American T-6 Texan/Harvard in the colors of T-6G I-SSEP. It was built as a T6-D in 1944, with c/n 121-41586 / 44-80865. It was converted to a T-6G in 1951, becoming 51-14462. After being operated for about a year in North Carolina, it went to Italy as part of the Mutual Defence Assistence Program, becoming MM 54101 of the Aeronautica Militare Italiano. Over the years, it was assigned the codes AA-40, RM-11 and RB-11, ending up at the airport of Bari, where is was more or less forgotten. It was bought by its current owners, a team led by pilots Sandro Pagiarin (who supplied pictures for this repaint) and Luca Eusepi, and painstakingly restored, making its first flight in 2004. It is painted in the colors of a T-6C that flew with the 604th Squadron of the 4th Stormo of Grosseto in the '50's and '60's. It is operated by the Historical Aircraft Group, based in Grosseto.
