Prince George, BC.- A special visitor to the  Prince George Airport today as a North American SNJ-4 Texan made a fuel stop.

This  World War II  plane  was used by the US Navy  as an advanced trainer,  although the model was  also used  as a trainer for the Amy and Royal Air Forces.

According to the Smithsonian Institution,  “more than 40 countries acquired this remarkable aircraft over a production run that started in 1935 and did not end until the 1950s, including modifications”.

The  two seater fixed wing craft is on its way to Fairbanks Alaska  via Dease Lake and Whitehorse.
