| Nathan W , GA | A SNJ-4 was modified with the tail of a Vultee BT-13 and painted green to look like a Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo/high level bomber for the movie "Tora Tora Tora" in 1969. It is still around and is based in Peachtree City, Georgia. It can be scheduled for airshows and is a must see as no "Kate" bombers exsist in any Museum.

| Jimmy Houser Edisto Beach, SC | i have flown an SNJ-4 back on April 12, 2003 at the James Island Executive Airport. The company is called TOPDOGS and i was ten at the time. it was a memory of a lifetime and i hope i never forget it. 09/20/2005 @ 20:42 [ref: 11299] |
| LUCO Argeles sur Mer, FL | French Cadet in the U.S.Navy, I flew for the first time, on an SNJ-4 July 17, 1953 at the NAAS Whiting Field.
Then at Saufley field,Barin field,and Corry field, I flew SNJ-4 and SNJ-5 until April 14, 1954. My first SOLO flight was performed on an SNJ-4 (serial number 27154), September 21, 1953. Last training flight on a TV2 : November 1, 1954. 08/22/2005 @ 06:17 [ref: 11050] |
| HarvardIV , AZ | I have to disagree. I've been told by a lot of people who fly them that it is an honest airplane, and easy to fly. Everything is difficult and unforgiving untill you know what you're doing. After that, it's a piece of cake. 01/01/2005 @ 23:37 [ref: 9029] |

| Marc Salvisberg San Rafael, CA | Just had the opportunity (as a newish pilot) to fly
around a bit as back seater in an SNJ4. View is pretty good, as long as back seater doesn't need to see ahead! Did a lot of gentle turns to clear forward direction. Impressions: Much faster than Archer II. Rolls and pitches easily. Has tons of rudder at 120mph. Throat mike might be the only way to use intercom or radio. Sounds like 8 aircooled VW engines w/o mufflers running all around you. What makes it unforgiving? Too much rudder response at low speed? At 120mph, it felt like you could "back it into" a corner! Shockingly quick, in fact. Eye opening, actually. I could imagine that it might be a handful in a "less than settled" landing approach! Aside from the rudder sensitivity - it was a gas!
