Invitation: Cockpit Demonstrator in Warsaw

[backseatjock]

Fresh from the Radom Air Show last weekend, Lockheed Martin's T-50 new-generation advanced jet trainer cockpit has landed in Warsaw where it will be in residence at the Sheraton Hotel until Thursday afternoon.

The company is extending an invitation to any Warsaw-based or visiting civilian / military aircrew to visit the team, fly the sim and learn more about the aircraft. If you are in town and have an interest please PM me. No hard sell from anyone just the opportunity to talk to our pilots and try your hand in something a little different while it is in town and with some spare capacity.

Hoping this does not break any forum regulations.

Hard to keep track of all these T-50s - at the last count we have the Sukhoi T-50, KAI T-50 and Lockheed Martin T-50.

Are we running short of designations?

KAI and LM T-50 are one and the same - aircraft was designed by LM primarily as a T-38 replacement, hence the fact it looks similar to F-16, and is built in Korea by KAI. It forms part of a new integrated flying training system being proposed by LM (UK) for Poland, combining the training syllabus it delivers for the UK MOD with the high-performance platform. That probably makes it all clear as mud.
