| Pensacola, Florida U.S. Navy SNJ "Texan" Aircraft Scrapping Field |
| During the summer of 1999, QuestMasters Musuem was present for one of the last large lots of untouched vintage World War Two aircraft that were being scrapped. These aircraft were found in their original wartime paint schemes. Roughly twenty, nearly complete U.S. Navy SNJ "Texan" Aircraft (U.S. Army Air Force version AT-6) were being scrapped. These aircraft have sat since the late 1950's in Pensacola, Florida after being surplus by the U.S. War Department. |
