Thunder Over Michigan - The Trainers

There were a number of military trainers on static display. In fact almost all US Military trainers had a specimen on the ramp.

The Naval Aircraft Factory N3N-3 (thanks for the corrected identification Comrade Misfit):

The Stearman

The T6 Texan / SNJ 4

The T-28 Trojan

The T-45 Goshawk

The T6 Texan II

There was also a pair of Royal Canadian Air Force Alpha Jet trainers on display.

I think that the first airplane is a NAF N3N, not a Stearman. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the N3N has four ailerons, versus two for the Stearman. So look for the aileron interconnect tube on the N3N

Comrade Misfit: You're exactly right. N-Registration for it shows it is an NAF N3N-3. Thanks.
