I loved those OCF flights, nothing like coming back with the hyd filter popped, panels loose and s@!t leaking all over the jet, "maintenance, uhm 965 is in and down".
After the forward stick spin mode, I would feel cheated by any rollercoaster.
The USN NATOPs and the USAF Dash-1 is the same book, goes under both titles. I dunno, it's possible they changed it since you went into the T-45... I think they're on Change 8 to it by now, but I'm done with the Texan also...
