UPT questions for veterans

[ifleyelearz]

thanks for all of your insight guys. I don't think I have enough time to be real cocky, but I've got enough to feel comfortable in a plane. I really can't wait to get in something faster than a Seminole. For you guys who have gone through it more recently, does the T-6 makes thing much easier? Some have said since it is glass and everything usually works, that the washout rate is lower. Just wondering, Thanks

I can only speak for myself, but I thought that flying the T-6 was pretty easy...all things considered. I've never flown the Tweet, but from the looks of the archaeic instruments, it probably takes a little more brainpower to fly.
...no ego here.

Don't forget to have fun. UPT was a challenge and a blast. IFF was better and it got really good after that. One day you'll look back and wish for days when all you had to do was fly, get better at flying, booze on Friday/Saturday, study, fly, repeat as required. No responsibility - just fly. What a life

If you don't have fun most of the time at UPT you're not doing it right. JMHO

I agree. I had more fun in Del Rio than a person should be allowed to have. I enjoyed it so much that I even managed to make a couple of trips down memory lane into Acuna throughout the years when I got close to Laughlin in my travels. I can tell ya one thing for sure, those trips get harder on the body after you hit your 40s. The margaritas at Ma Crosby's still taste as good though...
