I've on my second tour at Sheppard as a T-37 IP.  I'll switch over to the T-6 shortly after they arrive to replace the T-37.  Gonna miss the tweet, but the T-6 is a nice plane too.

Russian,

Congrats on your selection and best of luck in the rest of the process. Study hard, listen to the instructors and work your bellybutton off.


Eagle, it's sad to see the tweet go away but it had a long haul and trained a BUNCH of pilots. Not bad for a Cessna.

Hawk,

I used to work on them as well. The worst thing I could call someone was to refer to them as a Cessna Engineer. It came up many times when I was fishing around trying to fix some darn part that couldn't be seen or reached with both hands. One of the worst was trying to replace a cotter pin on the shimmy dampner on the front landing gear of a 337. It takes 2 people to replace one cotter pin.

Congrats to you.

A friend of mine busted his butt to get selected but didn't make it.  Those spots are far and few to get, lately.

Eagl, the Tweet?  We used to have those from time to time down here.  The B-52 drivers would hop into one, leave Loring and come to our "big city".  Man, those things were terrible to listen to taxi-ing around the ramp.
