How I feel preflighting on a dollar ride

Solid work on the raft preflight above.

I felt like I was going to hurl on my dollar ride - despite that it was awesome. Fun going from the 180HP C-172 to the 1,600HP T-6.

Ah the scumbag wingman... I would've used a viper but it seemed redundant for some reason.. :-) We've all had some rock-star moments when brand new....

You must have flown the one with the high flow exhaust pipes, Type R stickers, and neon accent lights. I only flew the 1100 HP versions.

Readily identifiable by the APC seats in them instead of your standard MB seats. They're a LOT lighter than the MB ones, and all the space savings allow for the NAWSSSSSS bottles to go under the seats.

Ha - you're right. Downgrade for T-6 GK. The PT-6 was flat rated or something to 1,100hp. Shame - I think the full rated power would put it into P-51 performance territory. IDEA program anyone? There might be a slight issue with 50% more power and stud over-g's / overspeeds... Might be a tough sell.
