T-2e
« on: February 23, 2008, 09:36:07 AM »
Ok another thread. Recently had the chance to fly for about an hour and 20 min with a T-2E of 120 training Wing in Kalamata AB, Greece. The flight was a typical advanced training set-up with a student with his instructor that manned the other aircraft. T-2s are used for advanced and operational training while there is a tender going on for a replacement. Here are some pictures. Hope you like them.

PS Btw SFCHONDO I have not forgot your OYZO just give me some time more plz.

in T-6 sim. I dream the day that AH will be some like that
Oh btw for those who think AH as a game only. I tried the same T-6 sim couple yrs ago. What happened during these two yrs I play AH? BIG I mean BIG change the way I could fly this sim a month ago. Huge improvement in every aspect of handling the plane. So, for those who are plane nerds like my self AH really improve their flying skills.

I am happy that you liked the photos. Thnx. No Wolf I am not a pilot. I m an aviation journalist -and a plane nerd- and from time to time I get the chance to fly with jets here –I mean Greece- or abroad.

Seems to me you have a great job description.

Wanna trade? You can do graphic design and I get to fly jets! :D

And don't tell me how easy it is to get laid :D


Jokes apart, how does the sim compare to the real deal, obviously there's the whole physics of it that can't be simmed. But I mean the whole enviroment, flight model etc - and how would such a sim compare to say AH or MSFSX?

Great videos as well, thanks.

I'm spotting what seems to be arrestor hooks on those babies. Greece has carriers?

Good to hear that! I'm a plane nerd and I still want to be a pilot, sooner or later! ;)

Thanks for sharing another one of your flights, Panos, one of this days you got to tell me how you got that wonderful job! :)

Wolf, I don't think they have carriers... the planes were US Navy trainers, that's why they have the hook.

I must say, that T-2 is a sexy little plane.
Put bigger engines on it, and some fuel tanks, maby a 20mm gun pod.

It reminds me of a mini f4, with tiny engines.

Im up..
