And for the record it's Vance AFB not NAS Vance, you'll be training with the Chair Force.

Best site I have seen since I have been at Moody has been

I would start with OPS limits/Boldface and nothing else until you have that down. Then go to the systems gouge. That should be more than enough to get you ahead of the game before you show up. You could also order a poster of the cockpit and label all the guages and panels so that you can get the verbage down. I recommend papertrainer.com

Hope this helps, let me know if you are looking for something specific. There should be better "gouge" for you when you show up, just ask around, its out there.

My FAM partner here at HTs went through Vance, and his class (or flight) was either the last or one of the last few to fly the Tweet. He said it was fun to fly, but a damn old plane.
The last class to all have the Tweet started a month or so ago, there will be split T-6/T-37 classes well into next year, March or so. As for gouge, there's plenty of gouge, but it's all stuff they give you anyways, boldface and ops limits, so it's not exactly great stuff. You'll find once you get to the flightline, the "gouge" you wish you had won't be there, tests and such that the T-37 guys don't have to study for, you'll spend all your time on it. As for being old, the newest I believe is 1954 or so, but being as old as it is, it still out performs the T-34!

I got a message from MichaelW who told me that I should go as agressive as I can to get the T-37 for exactly that reason. He said that he really wanted the T-6, but is so much happier with the Tweet. He was in that last class of all Tweets. Now my other buddy is in the T-6 class, he said thats all the Marines were getting at this point. Is that split available for Marines? or just Navy? Id always figure theyd give the older stuff to the Marines and newer to the Navy.. isnt that how it always works?
The split classes should be available for everyone I think, just depends on what class you get, ie, what squadron you'll go to and what they are flying. The 8th is all T-6, the 33rd is split classes right now. I originally thought I'd be getting the T-37, and later found out I'd be in the T-6, but oh well, it's a fun plane, but extra studying isn't my bag. BTW, I think Marines only flying the T-6 from now on is a MATSG want, not a guarantee.
To help out my fellow USN guys going up to Vance. I am an IP up here and right now the flightline is 50/50. If you draw the 8th you will be in a T-6, if you get the 33rd the odds are you will get a Tweet. When a class starts up, about every 3-4 weeks, everyone goes to the same squadron. When the next class starts they will go to the other one, and this process repeats. So if you know which squadron the previous class when to you can try to game the system. As of right now, the first T-6 in the 33rd will be Jan sometime, we haven't quite yet filled up the IP slots yet so when the 33rd starts flying the T-6 it will initially only be 2 out of the 6 flights in the squadron, and one class will take up 2 flights. Vance should be all T-6's by about mid year. Hope this helps, and for gouge t6driver.com is what we all used when we went throught PIT.
