Nicknamed the "Vultee Vibrator," this aircraft was flown during the second phase of pilot training by almost all Army Air Corps and Navy pilots during WWII. This was the first aircraft used at Merced Army Air Field, which was later renamed Castle AFB. It was also used at several other pilot-training fields in the San Joaquin Valley.

Thousands of pilots in the Army, Air Forces and Navy, plus the British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Air Forces trained in the AT-6. 15,109 of them were built, more than any other trainer. It was called the "Harvard" in British service and the "Wirraway" in Australia. In the Korean War, T-6s were used as forward air control aircraft, armed with smoke rockets to designate targets and carrying an observer to assist the pilot. The T-6 lasted long beyond WWII and was eventually used by many nations. It was phased out of USAF service in 1958. Many survive and are often seen at air shows.
