Feeling out the Goshawk

Yo, anyone got a recent copy of the T-45 digital NATOPS. I heard some guys get it on a CD or something. My email is too slow to handle something that big, but if there is someone in the P'cola/Whiting area that has one I would love to burn a copy. I am going to Kingsville in about 10 days so I am sure someone has one there. Seems like it would make things a little easier to have a digital copy when searching for the minutia.

Yeah from talking to my friends at Meridian that came outa Moody they agree that the C is a step down from the Texan, and that the GPS is more ghetto. We had the capability to outline pretty much all our MOAS in just one preprogrammed flight plan (and we could hold 30 FPs from what i can remember, can't remember how many waypoints that was, but it was def a lot, we had 7-8 MOAS there). I've gotten a few rides in the new Charlies that we have here and from just what I've seen initially I'd agree with them, although you can't beat that HUD cam in the back seat, that is nice. All I have to say is that I miss digital...

You're entering a world of pain
That's crazy, the 172's I was flying in college had more capable GPS than a simple dot on the screen. Then again, GPS was always a crutch.

its interesting to talk GPS, im sure there are many a cessna that have quite a bit better a GPS system than the super hornet, however, priorities change. flying from point A to point B isnt a very big issue compared to flying form, running a radar, sorting your contract, and employing timely weapons while keeping sight of multiple aircraft and making a merge happen.....all at the same time. but thats what makes tacair so much fun. my guess is that A4sforever would agree with me........just my 3 cents.
Well that moving map display in the Rhino is pretty friggin cool...
Though at this point, anything beats out the Fisher Price crap in the T-39 or the T-2

The Navy's A/C have historically lagged with GPS. Only within the last 5 years or so has the one in the Prowler been up to speed, but the newer INS systems are so good that the GPS becomes a backup to update off of. The relatively new dual EGI systems in the Prowler are amazing. You could take off without turning anything on, do an inflight allignment and have a dead on system within a few minutes. Thank God for the fifty-pound heads.UInavy said:
