The USAAF liked it, but requested a few changes. The cockpits were to be enclosed, the landing gear was to be faired and the engine became a PRATT & WHITNEY R-1340 WASP with 600 horsepower. This became the NA-18. The prototype was eventually sold to Argentina.
In late 1935, the design was officially adopted by the USAAF as the BT-9. They placed an order for 42 units. Most of these aircraft were delivered with the Wright Whirlwind engine, and were fitted with flaps - a first on a trainer.
The company then moved to Inglewood, California, to a site now covered by Los Angeles International Airport.

It reads:
Bill Knaps: Laura Please Tell All My BP Friends I read their well wishes on my BP Card you made me. Beautiful with that Airplane. Told you that Trainer was still used when I went in the Air Force. 30 years after it was put in service.

So great to see you all here celebrating Bayou's birthday week with him! (and enjoying the image, too!)
Stan that is so neat You could really tell the difference? I wonder if was by SIGHT or by SOUND? Humm...
I agree with others that Bayou is and always will be missed on BP. Maybe someday he will come back. That is a nice thought. :)
Thanks everyone for all you said and for your visit.

So sorry to be late in thanking some of you. I really value your praise and encouragement. More than you know.
This was originally a birthday card I made for a former BPer who served in the Airforce. I really like it and re-entered it a third time. Maybe that will be the CHARM it needs???
Great hearing from all of you!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! Hope you are all doing well, too. I am okay. A few sadnesses happening around me at the moment but all is well. Thanks for asking, Tom. :)
