Military aircraft from several eras were on display at The Great Texas Airshow April 07, 2024, at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. Static displays give the community the opportunity to see inside some of the Air Force’s most impactful assets and talk to the service members who use and maintain them. Pictured a representative of the National WASP WWII Museum poses next to a BT-13 Vultee. The BT-13 was used by the U.S. Army Air Corps as a trainer plane in the late 1930s. During World War II, the BT-13 was the basic trainer flown by most American pilots, including the WASP. Basic flight training followed primary training, and it preceded advanced training. The BT-13 was heavier and had twice the horsepower of the primary trainers. It required the student pilot to use two-way radio communications, landing flaps, and a two-position Hamilton Standard propeller. (U.S. Air Force photo by Brian G. Rhodes)
