T-6A Texan II at Pittsburgh (KPIT) 2005
The T-6 originated from the JPATS program, which aimed at providing a common basic trainer for both the USAF and USN, replacing the T-37 Tweet and T-34C Turbo-Mentor, respectively. The Air Force had previously intended to buy the Fairchild T-46 as a Tweet replacement before that program was canceled in 1987.
