T-6's starting to show up at Whiting?

[cisforsmasher]

i thought saw a t-6 bouncing at CRP yesterday. Can anyone else confirm? It did a touch and go and pulled what looked like 30 deg nose up, at least 45 AOB, kinda what a -45 does going to pattern low key. It looked pretty impressive from the highway.

Kind of what I figured and I know who. I can see why so many have punched after this tour. I hope I see the short break again...for the first time.

The Hope Lamp has been extinguished.

Nothing to see here, folks...nothing to see.

the break at the numbers in a -45 is pretty interesting on fast break fridays...

No, breaking at the stern is interesting.

For some reason this is reminding me of the Chinese curse . . . may you live in "interesting" times . . . :icon_tong

Breaking at the numbers at NMM is pointless. No one sees you.

in the 60B we usually break prior to launch.

Sad....

Unless by around you mean +/- 100.

Unless there has been a contract mod recently, the first T-6B is scheduled to be accepted in Dec 08 (I don't know the delivery schedule past that).

And here I thought 190 in the T-34 was fun. Oh God please let me select tailhook.

 

[ChunksJR]

Oh God please let me select tailhook.

Praying already? Ahhh...another rotorhead in the making. Just don't Fvck it up and time your depature right and you're set!

Haha, well I haven't actually started praying, seeing as how I've completed next to nothing. I'm trying not to think too far down the road as of yet.

You don't select, you hope the powers-that-be select you. Otherwise, see you over in the HT's. :icon_tong

I work w/ one of the guys who was part of the acquisition group for the region and he's saying something similar, however he's less optimistic it will make it on time.

You guys talk about the shorty and what not... I rolled in for my Fam 1 break today at a whopping 170 KIAS... went straight to 60 degree AOB and was told "45 degrees in the break." Ugghhh. Stupid course rules. I'm such a shitty pilot.
