Description
The 80th Flying Training Wing (80 FTW) is based at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. The 80 FTW, under the Air Education Training Command (AETC), is responsible for an intensive 52-week Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) program. The mission of the 80 FTW is to provide instructor pilot training in the T-6A Texan II and the Northrop T-38 Talon jet trainer. The 80th Fighter Training Wing conducts Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals flying training for over 75 U.S. Air Force and international pilots and Weapon System Officers annually. The T-6A Texan II is a single-engined turboprop aircraft built by the Raytheon Aircraft Company (now Hawker Beechcraft). The T-6A is a development of the Pilatus PC-9, modified significantly by Beechcraft in order to enter the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) competition in the 1990s. Based on the Pilatus PC-9, the T-6A is used by the United States Air Force for basic pilot training and by the United States Navy for Primary and Intermediate Joint Naval Flight Officer (NFO) and Air Force Combat Systems Officer (CSO) training.
