For the past 8 weeks I have been in training to get "requalified" to start instructing future Naval Aviators. Monday morning will be my first flight with a student. I am flying with Training Squadron SIX (VT-6) stationed at Naval Air Station Whiting Field. Once again I will be flying the T-34C Turbo Mentor, a plane I flew from 1998 through 2002 while stationed at NAS Pensacola. So far I have accumulated over 2,000 flight hours in this aircraft.
In January I will be heading back to NAS Pensacola to start training in the T-6A Texan II. The Navy will be buying the
T-6B Texan II to replace the T-34C. I will be involve with the transition process and training new instructors how to fly the new planes and train our future aviators. This will definitely make my last 3 years in the Navy exciting.
