The two aircraft, named PN-1 and PN-2, were flown to Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Florida to provide training for the student pilots.
T-6B is the avionics upgrade variant that features a glass cockpit configuration that includes three multifunction displays, hands-on-throttle-and-stick functionality and a head-up display.
The aircraft provides primary pilot training with enhanced capabilities in air-to-air and air-to-ground mission areas.
