All three of the instructors that died in the T-3A made it through the T-37 twin jet, the supersonic T-38, C-141 FO training, C-141 captain training, C-141 aerial refueling training and yet the T-3A killed them. Maybe if the T-3A required such a high training standard it shouldn't have been used for initial flight training.

greene, you didn't fly the T-3A. It's very different from what you flew.

The T-3A flew perfectly fine until it didn't. The T67 has a worldwide history of occasionally not recovering from spins.

When you look at how many aircraft were destroyed and how many people died in the T67 and T-3A there's not much argument left.
