Dibs!

Thanks for bringing back my Tinnitus's PTSD. My ears just started ringing....more...

Remember, that person gets to vote.

T-37: 1954 - 2005 T-6: 2005 - ...wait, what? Are you shitting me?

As a civilian researcher, I am curious how bringing back waist measurement with twice a year testing changes things compared with the earlier once a year model for high scorers. Does the HAMR option change that picture in practice?

Gotcha, their x post (JBSA) didn’t mention the hard landing and just seeing that part now from this thread. The venerable T-6 though is showing its age, 53% MC rate. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-mission-capable-rates-fiscal-2024/ I’d prefer a return to a jet based primary trainer but that ain’t happening, the T-6C is the easy button so press it Air Force.

(Speculation) I wonder if the emergency gear extension system failed....again...

I mean, if you like Shatner, he's all yours.

Do I hear Dibs?

This happened to a Navy T-6 something around 11-12 years ago if I remember correctly. Too high rate of descent on an ELP.

True. Heard that part this morning. Shit happens in training sometimes, glad the seats worked as advertised.

T-6 production line is still open, the simple answer is right in front of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️ But also I’ve been in acquisitions and know it’s not that simple, even though it should be. Glad they got out and are okay 🍻

I'm not arguing they don't need new iron, but a landing hard enough to break the T-6 gear very well may have broken new iron gear, too.

Glad they got out, controlled ejection, new iron people (leaders lurking on this forum), AETC needs it ASAP.

Glad they got out. T-6 isn’t aging as gracefully as the Tweet.

Laughs in DSG. Still once a year for us part timers.

Got my package submitted by my wing with AFPC giving the thumbs up a couple of weeks ago. Ranked 1/11 in my wing. Looking forward to sitting around and waiting all winter…

Everyone twice a year, 2 mile run (or the HAMR), waist measurement is back, interesting times.

One more T-7 render, aggressor

With how many cameras are built into vehicles now, it is absurd that every vehicle doesn't have this feature. Why should I need to install some dash cam from amazon when my truck has 6 cameras already?
