Late last summer I shared a photo called the Yellow Valiant Cowling. Since it’s been a few months, I figured you were chomping at the bit to see the rest of the airplane.

This Vultee BT-13 Valiant was at Hobby Airport in Houston attending a fly-in at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. The Valiant was a World War II basic trainer aircraft built by Vultee Aircraft for the United States Army Air Corps and US Army Air Forces. It was later replaced by the popular AT-6.

I enjoyed it because it is such a simple design and beautifully restored.
