I always hated AETC until the other day...
When I got to do this!
Friday marked my first flight during UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) for the USAF down here at Columbus AFB. For those not familiar with the program, you now start out flying the T-6 Texan II.
It was one of the coolest things I have done in a very long time, and I already have experience flying 3 other airframes, and have about 1600 hours in the KC-10A (as a boom operator though, not a pilot).
The T-6 flies and looks like an old WWII fighter. It was simply amazing the way this thing flies. I can't even begin to really explain how cool this was for a guy like me who since he was a kid dreamed of becoming an Air Force pilot, and this flight marking my beggining of flight training.

That's just awesome. I have also dreamed of becoming a pilot. That's my incentive to get my degree finished up quickly.

Its a lot of fun. I already graduated from flying the T-6, and am now flying the T-1 (I had my 2nd flight in the T-1 today).
