The Cleveland Wing, based at the Lorain County Regional Airport, has been assigned an SNJ-4 Advanced Navy Trainer (AT-6 Texan) which has trained hundreds of Navy and Marine pilots for combat. Their experienced team of volunteers keeps our SNJ-4 in pristine condition, belying the fact that her engine has a manufacture date of December 6, 1941 and that she was placed in service in 1942.
