On the airspace thing, it was frustrating at times, especially on nice, clear days. Finding a section or place to perform HAPLs/LAPLs was painful at times. The 34, for me, was so uncomfortable. It was noisy, the canopy glass was so scratched up, the A/C didn't work great, smelled of gas constantly, etc. I hear the T-6 is nice and comfortable, a canopy you can see out of, etc. There were days where you had to pick a hole to do aero and I had this civilian plane fly right through my loop, he popped righout out of a cloud. Recovered from a spin and bam, a light aircraft fly's by. Not always fun like that. But I think the T-6 is certainly a step in the right direction. The 34 was fun but I wouldn't want to do it again. It would have to be T-6 or 45 for me, which it will be .

You mean to say it was an airplane? I'm kidding of course, I see your point. I love it when I look up at the ODO desk and see a brand new jet next to my name, then when I get in and the new smell is still there and everything works....it is nice. Certainly the T6 will inherently add some value to our training continuum.
