What should I check when buying a used North American T-6 Texan / Harvard?

On a used North American T-6 Texan / Harvard, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the North American T-6 Texan / Harvard

Aircraft overview

The North American T-6 Texan / Harvard is a two-seat, single-engine advanced trainer developed from North American Aviation’s NA-16 family. The prototype lineage first flew in 1935, with major production running from the late 1930s into the 1950s. Known as the AT-6 and later T-6 in U.S. service, SNJ with the U.S. Navy, and Harvard in British Commonwealth service, it trained thousands of military pilots before they moved to frontline fighters and bombers. Its importance today comes from that history, its distinctive radial-engine handling, and a large surviving fleet supported by specialist maintenance knowledge.

Performance & specifications

Typical figures depend on variant, equipment, propeller and restoration standard, but a representative T-6 with the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp radial engine has about 600 hp. Cruise speed is commonly around 140 to 150 knots, with maximum speeds published near 180 mph for wartime versions. Range is often cited at roughly 600 to 700 nautical miles in standard configurations, again subject to fuel fit and power settings. Service ceiling is approximately 24,000 feet. Useful load on common AT-6 variants is in the region of 1,400 lb, enough for two occupants, fuel and period military equipment, though individual aircraft weights should always be checked from current records.

Cabin & avionics

The cockpit is tandem, with instructor and student positions under a framed canopy. Visibility, control forces and systems layout reflect its military training role rather than touring comfort. Many aircraft retain a period-style panel with conventional flight and engine instruments. Others have been discreetly updated with modern VHF radios, transponder with ADS-B Out, intercom, portable or panel-mounted GPS, and digital engine monitoring. Integrated suites such as Garmin Perspective or G1000 are not typical for the North American T-6 Texan / Harvard.

Buying & value

Buyers should focus on airframe history, corrosion, wing and center-section inspections, landing gear condition, engine time and overhaul quality, propeller status, parts traceability and modification records. Common market identities include AT-6, T-6G, SNJ and Harvard variants, with value influenced by authenticity, military provenance, restoration quality and operating condition. Upgrades may include Cleveland brakes, modern radios, smoke systems, improved harnesses and navigation equipment. On PlaneFox listing data, asking prices average about EUR 260,000, with a broad range from approximately EUR 125,000 to EUR 400,000, placing the type among serious historic warbirds rather than casual personal aircraft.
