Both those machines have been overtaken by technology
Suppose we ought to throw out all the AT-6s for fast mover pilot training, as the USAF doesnt have a single front line turboprop fighter aircraft!

Someone with experience in "training command" should understand the value of "steam gauges" and simple airframes/rotors to teach basic rotary wing airmanship (without spending a fortune on flight time and risking hugely more expensive assets with zero-hour RW pilots)
