Awesome! I'll be looking forward to following along as you go through your training!

As one who has just started my Private Pilot training, I can identify with you. I hope you are better on rudders than I am.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

The first thing you've learned already - aircraft don't fly on jet fuel - they fly on paperwork.  Good luck! Looks like a nice ride ya' got there..

Every person in UPT had to go through Initial Flight Training program putting about +20 hours in DA-20C while being 'stressed' to simulate life during UPT. Are you at Randolph AFB doing your UPT? Neg.

There is only one thing better than a trusty PT6 to power your airplane...................... Two PT6's Looks like a great airplane Sim. Good luck with your training.

Are you at Randolph AFB doing your UPT? Randolph doesn't do SUPT...mostly PIT and the weird stuff (TPS prep, basic qual, etc). FC

How does it compare to a WW2 fighter?
A quick look at wikipedia makes it look like a similar sized but lighter, less powered aircraft.

A T-6 can do a snowman. The T-6 Demo team used to do it as part of the acro program. That should give you an idea of how much power a T-6 has. A T-37 is faster, but a T-6 has much better acceleration. Along with range, altitude, electronics, etc.... I thought they did at least some UPT but I guess not....I see alot of young kids coming out of there to be instructor pilots then. Alot of women too. Randolph does PIT, so a FAIP will go there to become an instructor...which means he's still young, probably still a 2Lt. And women have been instructors for a LONG time now. FC
