This beautiful AT-6D restored by Pacific Fighters, was a 19- year labor of love. Major restoration work went into rebuilding the outer wing panels including 100% new skins. Fuselage, cockpit and firewall forward were restored to authentic NAA standards. It is equipped with a lock/unlock tailwheel but a steerable tailwheel setup is available. The paint scheme is authentically replicated from a 354th FG squadron hack. "Heave Ho" was used by the 354th FG to move people and supplies back and forth to bases in the ETO during WWII. It was also used to pick up downed pilots. "Heave Ho" was never assigned to one pilot so the squadron added the question mark (?) instead of a letter behind the star as anyone in squadron could fly it.
