This 1942 Vultee BT-13A is a genuine World War II primary trainer that introduced thousands of Allied pilots to military flying. Known as the “Vultee Valiant,” the aircraft is powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial and delivers the unmistakable sound, feel, and presence of a true warbird.
Restored in 2005 and maintained to a good operational standard, this BT-13A is ready for continued flying and display. With a fresh annual completed in March 2026 and solid engine and propeller times, it represents an accessible entry point into classic warbird ownership.
