I am trying to ID a T-6 that attended the Gathering of Memories Air Show in Texas on the November 9th. For pictures see...

It appears that is is only marked as USAF s/n 49-3555. Benno Goethals indicates there are at least airframes in this scheme. One is in the US (the one I would like to identify) and one in Australia.
BTW... Acording to Joe Baugher the original 49-3555 was "shot down"...
LT-6G 49-3555 (6147th TCG, 6148th TCS) shot down by ground fire May 17, 1953
Likely someone on this board has seen this one at an airshow someplace, or knows someone who flies it. Can anyone help me with the ID?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
