1940 American Champion AT-6Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Prineville, OR, USA

This 1940 North American AT-6, registration N56737, is a piece of aviation history, having entered service with the U.S. Army Air Force and remained a pilot trainer well after WWII. The civilian logs start in 1968 and document its usage and maintenance until 2004, when the aircraft was placed into storage. At that time, it was noted as the oldest airworthy and flying AT-6 in the world.

Currently configured for VFR, the aircraft has a total time on the airframe of 2,985 hours. The Pratt & Whitney R-1340-53H1 radial engine, producing 600 HP, has 598 hours since major overhaul (SMOH), and the Hamilton Standard 12D40-211 propeller has 93 hours...
