A peek inside the tandem cockpits of a Texan trainer on static display at the Grass Valley Airshow. The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated the iconic Texan as the AT-6, while the United States Navy labeled them SNJ. 1573 AT-6Ds transferred from the US Army Air Corps as SNJ-5. SNJ-5Cs were converted as deck landing trainers with tailhook arresting gear. This aircraft carries the seal for the Centennial of Naval Aviation, a milestone celebrated during 2011 by the United States Navy (USN), United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG).
