You may choose the excitement of open-cockpit flying in the famous Boeing Stearman N2S-1 "Kaydet", designated by the Army as the PT-17, a plane that was the first taste of military aviation for 60,000 pilots in all branches of the U.S. military services during the war.  Over 10,000 of the type were built.  It was the best known of all the primary trainers, as well as the most stable and maneuverable.  You'll have a fantastic view from the front seat with the wind blowing through your hair!

Or perhaps you would prefer the powerful SNJ-4B "Texan", designated the AT-6 by the Army, and "Harvard" in the UK and the British Commonwealth.  This plane was often the last step in flight training - a plane so powerful and nimble that it was actually used by many countries as a fighter and bomber!   It is equipped with a .30 caliber machine gun and bomb racks, for the purpose.  A Mexican T-6 was actually credited with sinking a German U-Boat!
