Subject: [LMB] OT: ListMind Query - T-6 Texans in MD/VA area?

Okay, this one is a long shot for the listserve, since as a guess I
don't think World War 2 gearheads and Bujold fans have much
convergence, but I'll give it a shot.

Basically I'm writing a semi-romantic sci-fi tale at the moment, and
one of the pivitol scenes is when our protagonist takes his girlfriend
up in a six and a half century old WWII T-6 Texan, a trainer aircraft
used by allied pilots during the war.  I can pull plenty of info about
the bird off the Net, but I'd like to have the chance to crawl into
the cockpit of one and dig into the brain of an experienced pilot, so
I can have plenty of color details for my character to babble about.
Both he and his love are pilots, so naturally they'd talk shop (and
their culture for various reasons bounced straight from biplanes to
space fighters with nothing between, so he'd have a chance to fill a
lot of gaps in her knowledge.)

Anybody know of any T-6's to be found in the Maryland or Virginia area
that aren't hanging from the Air & Space Museum's ceiling?

-Royce in MD, returning to lurk mode.
