Switching aircraft

I'm pretty surprised a lot of people miss their trainers, but it makes sense.

The T-6A can pull 7gs. It has 1100hp. The AF taught us to do formation aerobatics. It's a shit hot little plane. But I've also seen JOs standing around in the wardroom talking about how much fun they had flying a 172 around that weekend. Any good red blooded pilot is going to miss a plane they used to fly because they're all fun in their own way. I'd buy a T-6 or PC-9 one day if/when I have the money!

Why pay for it why you can fly it forever on the Navy's dime!
 
Really? That would be pretty contrarian to recent Congressional laws to both A) reshape officer career paths and allow officer careers to level-off instead of forcing up-or-out, and B) retain pilots to overcome pilot shortages. I'm not sure the Navy wants to fight that battle with Congress.

Yeah, like that has ever stopped the Navy before.

That is not what the PFI is about. Not at all.
