I recall that the T-1 NAV trainers lost their active duty pilots sometime around the same time I was in VT-3. I could be wrong but that's what I seem to remember.
Are the T-34s completely phased out of Whiting Field? I was in Northwest FL for all of August and I didn't see one flying. Just curious..
It is my understanding that the T-34s have been phased out of Pensacola for quite some time now but none of the T-34s have been phased out of the Whiting. It sounds like VT-3 is planned on being to the first pilot training squadron to transition.
