155+fuel, baby!!
Don't shoot the messenger!!
You're preaching to the choir. 435 in the A, 53 in the B (Yes, I've even fired the gun pod from the AT-38B), and 3550 in the C. I loved the nose-authority in the A, and don't get me started on the PMP, or how the MB seat ruined the airplane.
It was
far easier to teach them to fly---and especially land---in the A-model.
When I was a student? Basic speed was 150.
