USAF to scale down T-1 fleet, students to spend more time on simulators
USAF to scale down T-1 fleet, students to spend more time on simulators
“Pilots at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, and Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, will continue with the normal T-1 program but students assigned to Randolph Air Force Base will not fly the T-1 aircraft. Those at Vance Air Force Base will be exposed to a modified T-1 training syllabus.
Senior leaders will make a decision whether to expand the program after gathering feedback from the two courses at Vance and Randolph”.
whats thoughts in this, moving to simulator only in the future.

Depends on what you mean by “the beginning” jimjim...

Interstingly the T1 Jayhawk has been in Service since the early 1990s but the above numbering system doesn’t stop different services using the same name - the Jayhawk also used to identify some HH-60 models.

Well it has had a few names... Hawker 400... BeechJet 400...... Mitsubishi MU-300...... Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond
There was me thinking this below was a T-1. <nerd mode on>The 1962 designation system never seems to have been taken entirely seriously. All the T-n aircraft since the T-41 Mescalaro (C.172) should have been in the new sequence but only the renumbered USN T-1 and T-2 were (ex T2-V1 and T2J-1) were until 1990. Ironic that the T-45 should have been numbered in the ex-USAF range - clearly no USN Sharkey kicked up a fuss. Then someone clearly thought was a good idea to designate the Texan II as T-6 like the original Texan, Much simpler to use names IMHO.</nerd mode off>
