introduction of the new aircraft types could get underway in 2017 with the Grob 120TP, followed a year later by the Phenom 100 and then the T-6C.............
Well if they have chosen the 120 TP for EFT that is definitely a positive step forward. Not so sure about the choice of Phenom 100 for MEPT - can't see that handling too well in the low level environment. T-6C is probably the aircraft we should have been operating all along (in its PC-9 form) but would be interested to know how T-6C compares to the PC-21.

If we do get all of these I have only one major hope - that they will all be on the military register from the start and that we don't recreate the fiasco of the G115s and King Airs by having them on the civil register.
