Plane Purveyor Sells AT-6D to WASP Museum Fleet

Women Airforce Service Pilots Now Own Full Range of WWII US Trainer Planes

Courtesy Aircraft helped the WASP Museum complete its collection with the purchase of a vintage North American AT-6D, capping off their fleet of WWII trainers after years of searching.

The museum is dedicated to keeping the memory of the Women Airforce Service Pilots corps, or WASPs, who helped to strengthen the country's logistical backbone in the early years of WWII. Courtesy Aircraft managed to source a good bird, providing a silvery Texan to the Museum after some searching. The firm's focus on warbird sales has given them some handy avenues to get a line on increasingly rare vintage aircraft, finding classic T-6 Texans, P-51 Mustangs, and even B-25 Mitchells for their well-heeled clientele. The firm was proud to put the capstone on the WASP Museum collection, according to Courtesy President Mark Clark.

"It was an honor to help the WASP museum find the perfect AT-6 they needed. This flying example is an excellent way for the museum to honor those who served before us and remember the contributions the WASP pilots made."
