Yessir! We're pretty much down to flying by keyboard though. The consoles along the sides aren't connected to anything, they just light up.

I hated those damn things. That roomed smelled funny. Though it was always amusing to get your printout at the end if you had forgotten to change your L to R or vice versa and you did a donut.

Ft Rucker is shut down for a few days. They flew the Hawks and 58s to Cairns to put up in the hangar. Of course we still have to go the the Flightline for something every day.

It's also assigned to Carrier Training Wing 6.

Random question, are they ever planning on painting the TW6 T-6s the orange and white scheme? I personally think the AF blue and white looks better since they're doing the half and half job, as opposed to the style on T-34s

There are quite a few orange and white T-6's flying around NASP (maybe they're from Milton though?).

I agree. It seems to hide the exhaust residue better.
