I am in Aviation Officers Candidate School in Poland(multiengine pipeline).. Now on API... It is strange but (HQ) made decision that we are going to start our flight training with old russian bi-plane called An-2 "Colt" they have cut out PZL-130 which is very similar to Tucano so I would say something like T-6 Texan II.... It is interesting that in the NAVY you can fly T-45 or T-2 even if you are multiengine...
Is it the same in the Air Force? I believe that they use T-1 Jayhawk instead of C-12..
I saw some of them when i was in Pensacola, but they use them to train bombardiers and navigators

I would love to get some part of the flight training in the US.... After school probably I will fly C-130 or CASA 295M (very similar to Spartan) in Polish Air Force.

Wow, the An-2 Colt is an old, old airplane With regards to the multi-engine and T-45/T-2 flying, the T-2C is all but gone now. The Navy has two multi-engine turboprop carrier aircraft, the E-2/C-2 and the only way to get your initial qual at the boat is via the jet pipeline. So us E2/C2 types go through an intermediate jet syllabus that ends with CQ. We can also go back and be an instructor in the T-45, which I think is a great deal for our community. The E2/C2 IMO is a boring, boring aircraft to fly. Back in the day, I went through VT-4 in Pensacola whose sole job for a few years was to be the advanced training squadron for future E2/C2 pilots. Now that job is split with the standard T-45 squadrons. So within the next few years, it's going to be T-6B Texan II's, then either TH-57's, T-44's or T-45's.
