This feels like another T-1 moment where by the time they update the avionics on the T-6, they're going to send them to the boneyard. They need to just start buying PC-21s and call it a day.

Might be his best moment.

PS. The Drudge headline says he went "Berserk" which is a stupid description.

Damn it that’s diabolically probable So where the hell are the CODELs where these aircraft that the AF wants to and already has divested, the T-6 and T-1 respectively… I get it that the Missouri CODELs are advocating for and getting the T-7 into production (along with others) but if I were a Congressman/staffer from Kansas I’d tell the AF to pump the brakes on this divestment of T-1s and if I got word of T-6 divestment, someone would be going to the woodshed… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nice way to fix the pilot shortage. Contract everything except 1x SQ of T-7s at each base (except SPS), cut the training so they graduate sooner, and if there are accidents just blame the contractors.
That looks like a great survival gun.
Don't tell my wife, but I pulled the trigger on the Sig MPX...came with 15 MAGS!
Put my spare EOTECH on it but don't like it. Might try a Holosun.
Still need a light, might do the combo with the laser. Thing shoots DEAD on!
As of right now, I'm going to be flying the ride flights out of Appleton Thurs through Sunday. Hopefully I'll be there early in the week just working the crowd for the static display on the plaza.
Beers at SOS Bros on me this year. 🙂
