OMG! Am I the only person that hated that little POS airplane? It was the most uncomfortable seat in the AF (except for the OA-37 where you had to sit on the life raft CO2 bottle in the canvas seat). Slow, underpowered, unpressurized, no range, loud (and not in a good way like the sound of freedom) and UGLY! The only good thing about it was that it was forgiving. While it was a good learning platform for beginners in its day, it sure doesn't rate anywhere near the top of airframes to shed a tear over. I for one am glad to see them go. The T-6 II is a step up. It really says a lot when the prop-driven replacement aircraft outperformes the jet being parked. AMF!
