Join me as I take to the skies in the legendary North American Harvard II, also known as the T-6G Texan, a historic aircraft cherished by the Norwegian Spitfire Foundation (NSF). Established in 2012, the NSF is dedicated to restoring and operating historic aircraft, preserving a significant part of Norway's aviation heritage. Their notable project includes rebuilding PL258, a Spitfire with a storied Norwegian history from WWII.
Kjeller Aerodrome, where the NSF is based, is Norway's oldest airport, established in 1912. It is home to more than 30 historic aircraft, including the North American Harvard II. This particular aircraft, registered LN-TEX, was built in 1944 and has seen service with the Royal Air Force, Belgian, Portuguese, and German air forces. The Harvard is renowned for its distinctive sound, a result of its propeller tips breaking the sound barrier.
In this video, I am joined by Helge Storflor, an experienced display pilot, who expertly demonstrates the aerobatic maneuvers performed during airshows. The Harvard is an excellent trainer with a reputation for challenging stall and spin characteristics. Helge ensures safety by avoiding low-energy maneuvers during our flight.
Experience the breathtaking views over Oslo, especially when we’re flying upside down!

I came to Oslo in the late 80's: great business trip...nice to see the city again. Fantastic video and aircraft...thanks.
It was an absolute joy to watch
Fikk flytur med LN-TEX med Helge som pilot den 8 juli i år, som bursdagsgave! Definitivt det morsomste/kuleste jeg har gjort! Super video som alltid!
That is life! Beautiful aircraft and nice video.
I remember seeing these at an airshow in Bodø, and that noise from the side when it flies by is quite sharp. Very nice plane though.
Amazing video Magnar. Thanks for sharing this
Takk for en flott tur Magnar 😊👍
That smile on your face, priceless. I know exactly how that felt ❤
What a fantastic experience! Thanks for sharing it Magnar. Beautiful day, beautiful scenery 😁
Great piece of content captain
The only music is the Pratt...fantastic
morsomt å høre dere snakke norsk(:
It seems that you had a great vacation and a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing. I am jealous.... just kidding, happy for you, Magnar!!!😜
Thank you, Capt. 👨✈️
Former Portuguese Air Force. Upgraded to T-6G at OGMA, Alverca Portugal.
You gave the city a free show😂
Great airplane.
Thanks!
I am happy I can only watch this from my living room. I would be scared to s....
Ok Magnar. Cool video. I has been a few years since you flew a glider I suspect. I recently reaquiered my FI(S) rating. And you are hereby invited, with or without aerobatics. Regards from a former student of yours - in Valdres.....
Tusen takk Remi!
It has been said that the P51 was a great trainer for the T6!
Noen seiler på Oslofjorden, andre flyr med T6 over Oslofjorden. Takk for at vi fikk være med på turen!
People look at me strangely when I say that the car of my dreams is the Renault 4, and it's the same when I say that the Texan is the plane of my dreams.
My favorite is the BT 13 . Saludos
Ka farsken!?! 🙂 Kjæmpe tur i godt vær 🙂
This looks like a lot of fun!
I recently had the chance to fly on a small propeller aircraft (A Robin DR400) recently. First time in my life, and a log smaller than my previous smallest3 fixed-wing, which was a Dornier 328. Sure, it is lighter than this one, a lot more modern and we didn't do aerobatics in it, but no matter how much I love flying as a passenger of bigger aircraft, this is so different and even more fun.😁
Thanks for putting English subtitles on the Norwegian communication - but why did you switch to Polish in the second line at 9:24? 🤣
Why they never made the Texan with a 3 bladed propeller, I'll never know.
Are you norwegian? or do you know norwegian?
I am a Norwegian.
@@FlywithMagnar Cool! I'm a swede so I understand some Norwegian haha and I guess you understand some Swedish as well then!
I grew up with "Vi på Saltkråkan."
@@FlywithMagnar Där snackar vi bra grejer haha...Hope you understood that Swedish! How did you end up working on the other side of the world?
Long story. I may make a video about that.
