This is for JohnnyB

The long and painful video (don't worry, it's an edited version) is available here... an entertaining eight minutes of trials and tribulations.

The sweet and juicy video is up here if you're more of a "straight to the finish" kind of guy our women love to hate.

No they are Borbet type TDs. I don't think they've made them for a few years.

D'oh! Don't know what I'll be flyin yet other than the trainers - T6 for starters, then t-38 or t-1s.

Posted by JohnCM (Member # 1076) on :

hopefully not the t38's. they have those here at holloman. this has gotta be one of the worst places.

Posted by cheap (Member # 858) on :

I'll be at Vance for the whole stint no matter if I track T-1s or T-38s. They are even spinning up an IFF squadron here.
