It looks mostly as an A-6 Texan/Harvard, and I have never heard of the A-6 family having a Mosquito, is that special for the T-6D andd what is the change in designation for?

Claus During the Korean War and, the Vietnam War, T-6s were pressed into service as forward air control aircraft. These aircraft were designated T-6 "Mosquitos". armed with smoke & phosphor rockets to mark targets

Claus skrev i meddelelsen ... Yes, this was new to me as well. My reading of the Museum catalogue is that the Texan was modified as the T-6D during the Korean War and used for airborne Forward Air Control, in which role it became known as the Mosquito. The Texan was chosen as it could operate from small, rough forward airstrips and was easy to maintain. It was also faster and more rugged than the light aircraft the FACs previously used. Frank.
