I enjoyed flying the T-1 as a student, but even then I'd look over at the IP and think the job looked boring as sh!t.
My feelings haven't changed really. I loved flying the Tweet and will quite likely go take a turn in the 6, which looks like even more fun. Teaching primary is where it's at (for me). When the class starts they can't even find the jet on the ramp, in roughly 4 months they're solo on your wing. Dollar rides were fun, initial solo was fun, some other stuff enjoyable, but nothing quite gives you that feedback on your instructor skills like letting a dude fly just off your wing with no one in his jet to save your life.
