Double Vee, The Tuskegee Airmen AT-6

The "Double Vee™" is the only authentic, fully restored aircraft in existence once utilized by the now famous Tuskegee Airmen. In its days as a "C" model, the aircraft was utilized to train the Tuskegee Airmen in the methods of ACM (aerial combat maneuvering) and gunnery.

Steve has meticulously restored the aircraft to its original paint scheme and markings it bore while in service as an advanced fighter pilot trainer at Tuskegee, Alabama. After a three year restoration, Double Vee now tours the country at selected air shows with a unique, historical, educational display second to none.
