August 18, 201114 yr AT-6 dry lake bed Why is it that the following gear looks to me far less scary? But then again, what do I know?... No idea what this sentence means...also, no idea why you posted a picture of the A29 Super Tucano in a thread about the AT-6? Super-T AT-6 Edited August 18, 201114 yr by ClearedHot
August 18, 201114 yr The real question is who is the winner who is trying so hard to speak like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman? Edited August 18, 201114 yr by ThreeHoler
August 18, 201114 yr Author The real question is who is the winner who is trying so hard to speak like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman? Me's'a foreigner, patois' different. Sorry, will amend ways. My main question is: doesn't that AT-6 gear look a bit frail for what it is?
August 18, 201114 yr What AT-6? It's already been pointed out that the picture you posted is a Tucano, not a T-6. You can tell by the 5 bladed prop, rounded as opposed to triangular starter air intake below the left cowling, FLIR (or whatever) in the nose as opposed to under the cokpit, and the fact that its has a Brazilian registration number (but odly that looks like a Colombian roundel on the aft fuseladge).

AT-6 on the video, Super Tucano on the picture for comparison...
August 18, 201114 yr AT-6 on the video, Super Tucano on the picture for comparison... Fail... First rule of debrief, admit mistakes and learn from them. Quibbling or making excuses equals pay double.
August 18, 201114 yr got to fly the AT-6 2 times last year during an operational eval at DM. It was a sweet airplane actually.
August 18, 201114 yr AT-6 seems like a better design. Putting the eye ahead of the exhaust shroud should improve visibilty greatly.
August 18, 201114 yr How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake?
August 19, 201114 yr How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake? Probably the same way all those other PT6's do just fine in the dirt.
August 19, 201114 yr How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake? The reverse flow design certainly helps.
August 20, 201114 yr Talon dudes are goobers. First thing I thought of when listening to dear Kenneth.
August 21, 201114 yr The Tucano also has an Air-to-air kill under its belt Who flies those aircraft? Americans with a member of the country's government on board? Or the country's own pilots?
August 21, 201114 yr Who flies those aircraft? Americans with a member of the country's government on board? Or the country's own pilots? No idea, I am surprised that this online though
August 21, 201114 yr How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake? Inertial separation. Introduces a high-G turn in the intake flow prior to the compressor. Debris is too heavy to make the turn.
August 21, 201114 yr Inertial separation. Introduces a high-G turn in the intake flow prior to the compressor. Debris is too heavy to make the turn. You're mom's too heavy to make the turn.
August 21, 201114 yr You're mom's too heavy to make the turn. You're mom failed 1st grade spelling. No, really. She did.
