Good video. The T-6 was developed from the Swiss PC-12. However, if you want to the "the next generation", do a google search for "PC-21" and look at that turboprop monster! I hear the Aussies are considering it, although it is may more $$ than they want to spend.

I actually recognized some dudes in that video...

But the draw-back to the new sims they developed...

With the student / instructor proximity, no more catching a quick cat-nap, or better yet, having the instructor fall asleep during an instrument sim.

Yep, me too. Lots of Moody clips of classes that were there when I was.

Hmmm... stuff to look forward to... I just finished day 2 at Vance. Yes, you can start snickering now.

But it's a single-engine PROP! Who could possibly be excited about that? Bring back the tweet! Props are for boats!

The t6 runs laps around the tweet...I was crusing back to recovery from the area yesterday showing 300 kts gs on the gps not even at full power after an hour in the area and STILL had 650 lbs gas left...the tweet could only dream of being able to do this. And yes, Ive got a few hours in the tweet so I can compare.

Don't think of it as a prop: think of it as an "unducted fan".
