    Does anyone know what kind and name the airplane is??????

    Looks like WW2 vintage. That plane will always beat the boat.

    Great pic, the two things I love.....

    It's a North American SNJ-2 (1941) it's the Navy version of the A-T6 Texan. Only 11 remaining and we have 6 of them :).

    I still can't decide if that looks like a new torpedo design dropped by the Texan or a new aircraft deployment vessal from the Navy. :D

    There's a Texan in a hanger in Sarasota.... actually at a house I grew up in. Owned by a great couple who also run the bi-plane concession in Marathon flying tourists around in an old 1940ish Waco everyday...... like us just last Feb. :D

    The boat would beat this classic old canvas bird.

    Aero, You're clearly having too much fun at your job.
