Description
In January 2003, Training Squadron TEN (VT-10) initiated instructor orientation flights in the T-6A Texan II, the joint Air Force/Navy platform slated to replace the T-34C as the Primary phase syllabus trainer. The T-6A Texan II is a single engine, two-seat trainer which is fully aerobatic. It features a pressurized cockpit, a G-tolerance enhancement system and dual zero-zero ejection seats. The T-6A utilizes a state-of-the-art digital cockpit to help familiarize students with what they will encounter in their fleet tours. In August 2003, VT-10 marked its first training flight in the T-6A Texan II. In April 2005, VT-10 completed the transition to the T-6A Texan II and flew its last T-34C Turbo Mentor student sortie. 2006 saw a continued evolution of the T-6A program through the development of hi-fidelity, low-level, visual simulators. Since its commissioning, VT-10 flies approximately 11,000 hours in the T-6A and 2,400 hours in the T-1A annually. VT-10 has and will continue to aggressively meet the challenges of a changing training environment and continues to proudly serve as the NFOs Gateway to the Fleet." Signed and Numbered by the Artist.
