The Vultee Valiant was a standard basic trainer for the United States during World War II. “Basic” training came between primary training (learning to fly) and advanced training (coping with operational-level performance and systems); it involved higher performance and some of the systems that the pilot would need to be familiar with in operational aircraft. The Valiant first flew March 24, 1939 and 9,525 were built. They were designated BT-13 or BT-15 by the Army depending upon their engine, and as SNVs by the Navy.
The DFW Wing BT-15 needs to have it’s fuel system refurbished. This project is estimated to cost $5000
