The Ryan PT-22 Display
The now rare PT-22 was a trainer to prepare pilots for the Harvard and Mustang. Its Kinner R56 slow revving radial engine makes a very distinctive sound, which turns heads. With a higher speed range than many trainers it makes a good display aircraft. Its cigar shape open fuselage and unique undercarriage provides an evocative sight.
“854” was originally taken on charge at Hemet Field, California in May 1942 and served until 1945. It then joined the civilian register and flew in the USA until moving to the UK in 1989 where it has flown ever since.
The Ryan is available for Airshows, Corporate Days, Indvidual Displays, Static Displays and Film & Television Work. The Display can be tailored to your individual requirements and normally lasts 8 to 12 minutes. For private displays, all arrangements and CAA permissions can be arranged on your behalf subject to the location being suitable (please contact us for advice).
We can also offer displays in our other radials such as the Harvard and T28 Fennec or formation routines with our other display partners.
