Glad he's OK

Notice kids how it is always a "routine training flight".

Don't treat any flight like it is routine.

If every flight was a combat mission, I'd be okay.... :icon_smil

But that dreaded "routine training flight."

^^^^ What they said.

I lost more friends and squadron-mates in the training command than I did in a one year tour in Viet Nam. EVERY flight demands your very best, and not just for the grades.

I'm just a student, but I absolutely agree. The volume of solo flights in advanced is not just a hurdle to get over safely but rather the beginning of a career of "it's-up-to-me" time.

Glad they both got out ok.

It'd be interesting to note if they were both Alphas/Charlies/or both. That's probably privileged info right now, but interesting nonetheless.

No kidding, two in less than a week?! I wonder if they'll have a (lengthy) safety stand down after this one

From the article...

Training Air Wing TWO has discontinued flight operations until further notice.

Methinks....yes.

There goes their time to train!!

Looks like TRAWING 1 is in the running for this year's safety award.....if this crap keeps up we will need to merge the T-6/T-34 thread with this one.

I THINK both planes were from the same squadron. That would mean both planes were the same type?

Type...yes. They were both the T-45. Both squadrons at TW-2 fly the A and C models though.

Look at the bright side (especially if you're a Safety Officer): they occured in different Fiscal Years.

HAHAHAHA I was just thinking the same thing huggy!!!!!
