The SNC Falcon was an all-metal trainer derived from a light fighter design, the Curtiss CW-22. A total of 305 were built, this example only serving the Navy between 1942 and 1944. It was registered N8021J by 1956 and arrived at the museum in 1984

Preserved at the gate of the military technical school in Cochabamba is this very rare Curtiss-Wright CW22B Falcon, one of few survivors of this type in the world.

Stored at the Golden Hill storage site of Fantasy of Flight, a very rare CW A22 Falcon.

One of 50 supplied to Turkey by the USA, and in service until 1949. Reported to be ex Turkish AF 15-13571 and also once marked 2615, just four known examples are in existence: a CW-22 stored at Fantasy of Flight, Florida pending restoration to fly, a US Navy SNC-1 Falcon displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, and another SNC-1 displayed at at the Uruguayan Aeronautical Museum in Canalones.

This aircraft, the CW-A22, is the prototype of the CW-22 Falcon scout and trainer, which sold to the Netherlands East Indies, Turkey and a few South American countries. The unarmed CW-22N trainer was used by the US Navy as the SNC. N500G was originally registered NX18067. It supposedly first flew in 1940 although the FAA gives 1938 as the manufacture year. It is seen here in the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum under the wing of the 1936 Douglas DC-3A, NC16070.

This very rare type, a survivor of 50 delivered to the Turkish AF, is on display at the super Turkish AF museum.

In 1940 it was clear that the US Navy would have to increase dramatically the number of pilots that were being trained. A varirty of types were used for this purpose and amongst them were 305 Falcons. This example, of what is a very rare type, now hangs in the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum.

The Curtiss-Wright CW-22 Falcon was a two-seat reconnaissance and attack aircraft which appeared in 1939. Fifty CW-22s were sold to Turkey and this example has been preserved. Shot with a mini tripod and 8 seconds of exposure.
