Sorry, not pulling your leg.

I washed planes for gratis instruction at Roosevelt Field, NY. TM Scout
belonged to John Hay Whitney.
1st Solo was in Aeronca, 1940.


The only TM Scout I know of was a single seater (like the P-40).

A P-40 pilot once returned to the Z.I. could easily be checked out in a T-6
for Flying pay profiency, happened all the time.


But you listed the Scout first, as though it was the first airplane
you ever flew. Was there a two-seater Scout? It wouldn't have been
called a "Scout," would it, as the term was used during WW I, if it
had two seats.

Enlighten me.
