  • The Air Force has taken the Navy's T-6B and supercharged it into the most advanced trainer in the world. Today I got a chance to fly in one.

      What was cool was that the enlisted dude got saluted by the officer before he even started to salute the officer... lol. You almost never see that. Screw waiting for the subordinate to initiate the due courtesy and respect. He just wants to get his bird into the sky, not power trip over his rank or grade. It's an awesome mix of the true respect the pilots have for their ground and maintenance crews and the love they have for flying.

    Years ago B-52 Wings also had a T-37 detachment so co pilots could build up flying hours.
    I have often wondered if an F-35 wing was structured so it also had a T-6 det or even squadron where an F-35 pilot could also have some monthly flying hours in the T-6 for just good flying hour efforts.
    Someone could always shoot this idea down as being too expensive but I think it would be good given F-35 availability with current schedules. "Hey, I don't have an F-35 hop for a few days but I can do some basic airmanship hops to stay fresh with the T-6."

It has an all digital glass cockpit displays & a HUD. It's also really useful 4 training anyone who would fly larger airplanes like the C-17, C-130, or bomber aircraft.

If you are further than a sophomore and do not have prior service you will have to add on time to your degree to meet the 3 year minimum. This applies only to ROTC and the route through OTS is different. You can go to OTS as an Airman who is already enlisted or as a civilian as long as in both cases you have at least a bachelors degree.

For me, the theory is fine, but when it comes to throwing an aircraft around in ACMs that it becomes disconnected from even a regular pilot's perspective, which is to achieve smoothness and avoiding Gs at all cost.
