EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014: Michael Rambo and the T-6C Texan II

Fred Harl and Carmelo Turdo

The EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 airshow lineup included a number of manufacturer demos of new or developing aircraft.  One of those unique performers was the civilian T-6C Texan II in Beechcraft colors, flown by company test pilot (and former USAF T-6 demo pilot) Michael Rambo. The Texan II is part of a  proven training system used by the U.S. military service and allied countries.  The high-energy aerobatic program shows the jet-like performance and turbo-prop economy of the aircraft.  Beechcraft also markets the AT-6 light attack aircraft development of the Texan II, featured in The Aero Experience coverage of the Beechcraft exhibit from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2013.
