The Noratlas n°105, belongs to the association "Noratlas de Provence", which managed to have it classify "historical monument", as it is today the only one in flight state.

Colin ,thanks for your detail feeding my curiosity.. They look to have a similar airframe. Did the designers collaborate? When were they superseded?

Why can't we get better photo identification? A simple search will reveal that this is a PC-12/47E owned by Pilatus and used as a demonstrator.

Paul, the geese are using the forward pressure wave of the wing to help them fly easier. They do it with each other in nature, which is why they fly in formation.

Anyone remember The Flight of The Phoenix? All those guys strapped to the top of the wing of the single engine plane they made from the wreck of what looked like one of these as they flew it out of the desert? And all with only an assortment of hand tools and a ton of interpersonal conflict!

John McGeoghan: The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is of the same era as the Supermarine Spitfire, but fell well short of the Spitfire's performance, particularly ceiling (29,000ft vs 36,000ft) and rate of climb (2,100 ft/min vs 2,600 ft/min). Both aircraft had water-cooled V12 engines but the P-40's Allison V-1710 produced 1,150hp compared to the Spitfire's Rolls-Royce Merlin 1,470hp.

How about this? Simply go with what the FAA designates this aircraft, N15797, to be as Greg states... which is a Canadian Car & Foundry Harvard Mk.IV built in 1945...
Written on 20.09.2018 by cliff731
https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=15797
And that makes T6 the appropriate entry in the box for Aircraft Type under Photo Tags.
HARVARD MK IV, was built under license from North American:
Written on 20.09.2018 by jobeard
"Because North American was also heavily involved building its B-25 Mitchell medium bombers and P-51 Mustang fighters, a license to build Harvards was let to Noorduyn Aviation Limited in Canada. Noorduyn built 757 Harvard IIBs for the RCAF and an additional 1,800 of the Harvard IIB/AT-6A type designated AT-16 for lend-lease. "
"Harvard" is not a type per se, but a nickname, just like Tomahawk, Warhawk and Kittyhawk are nicknames for the P-40.
The objection is the stated type does not match the picture it is attached to at all.
KCMA has a restored A6M in green camouflage.
Guess I'll need to write a Squawk on the inaccuracies of the ICAO.

Negative, it´s a visual effect. The G200 flew over the bridge which is less than 2 mi from the runway threshold. The photo was taken from a nearby mountain with a 400 mm lens.

The FAA lists this bird as a HARVARD MK IV, built by CANADIAN CAR & FOUNDRY, which matches what you listed, Max. So, if you use the ICAO code: T6 (the code for a North American AT-6 Texan), that is probably as good as you'll get for this bird. I can't explain the PA28 code.

The replica Kate bomber was built for and flown in the 20th Century Fox film, “Tora! Tora! Tora!”. For the filming of the movie, they needed Japanese torpedo bombers but none existed as the Japanese were forced to destroy all of them after the war. The movie producers decided they would make some by combining the airframe of a North American SNJ-4 with the tail section of a Vultee BT-13.
