Ryan PT-22 Recruit
The Ryan PT-22 Recruit primary trainer is a very popular sight at airshows. It's open cockpit design makes it a unique aircraft and one that is a real pleasure to fly in or see flying at air shows. Our Living History Flight Experience customers rave about their experience.
The Ryan Recruit was the first monoplane primary trainer used by the U.S. Army Air Corp. The PT-22 was the final version of the airplane, and 1,023 were built through 1944. The aircraft was used in training programs until the end of WWII when the aircraft was retired. |
The Minnesota Wing's PT-22 is a beautiful example of a very original airplane.
