History of 110" Fairchild PT-19
During the onset of WWII, the U.S. Army Air Corps sought trainers that could adequately prepare pilot trainees for high-performance fighters. The Fairchild M-62, equipped with a Ranger 6-440 engine, emerged as a solution. Designated as the PT-19, it boasted flight characteristics mirroring those of combat aircraft, outclassing biplane trainers. Subsequent versions, including the PT-19A and PT-19B, were ordered with increased power and additional instruments for instrument flight training.
Our PT-19, housed in our hangar, holds a piece of history as a former RCAF PT-26, built by Fleet Aircraft in Canada in 1943. Post-war, it was refurbished for civilian use, symbolizing the aircraft's adaptability and enduring legacy.
