T-6 (Static Display)

The Magic Valley Airshow is excited to present a static display of the legendary T-6 Texan, often referred to as "The Pilot Maker." This iconic single-engine advanced trainer aircraft was absolutely vital in preparing thousands of Allied pilots for combat during World War II and beyond, serving as a stepping stone to high-performance fighters and bombers. Known by various designations including the AT-6, SNJ, and Harvard, its robust construction and challenging flight characteristics made it an ideal training platform for students to master complex maneuvers, retractable landing gear, and constant-speed propellers. Seeing the T-6 up close offers a tangible connection to the golden age of aviation and a deep appreciation for the aircraft that shaped generations of military aviators.
