This question is aimed at anyone who flew the T-34 in primary who had considerable flying experience in the civilian world prior to comissioning. I am getting an aerospace degree and when I graduate I will be commercial/cfi/cfii/mei. I am guessing that I would have around 500 hours TT by the time I would make it to primary, and zero turbine time. What is the transition like to the T-34 after such experience as mine in piston aircraft? In my mind, such a transition may be better for me than in the Air Force where I would go right into a pure turbojet T-37. Also, would it be a good idea for my IP to know about my previous flight time, or should I just keep my mouth shut about it??
