What was cool was that the enlisted dude got saluted by the officer before he even started to salute the officer... lol. You almost never see that. Screw waiting for the subordinate to initiate the due courtesy and respect. He just wants to get his bird into the sky, not power trip over his rank or grade. It's an awesome mix of the true respect the pilots have for their ground and maintenance crews and the love they have for flying.
Great video. One thing that is never lost on me watching these maneuvering type videos is the physicality aspect of flying. I was nearly out of breath watching. You guys are beasts. Sincerely, thanks for doing what 99.9% of us could never do. Stay safe.
Man...sooo much memories with this airplane..I worked and delivered the 1st two T-6B to the Navy when I was at Beechcraft...also help developed the AT-6..Great video.
That amount of content in this video is outstanding! Briefing and simulator footage, take off, cockpit cam + HUD video, radios and even MFD displays about A-G stuff. Wow! That's definately the first time I see all this in one video.
Thanks for the excellent video Hasard. My nephew just got his wings at Randolph AFB a couple of weeks ago and now I got to see a bit of what he went through. Well done to you and my nephew Lt. Alex Collier.
ANOTHER great insight/presentation; absolutely LOVE the POV/pan motion of the camera work; UNIQUE perspective and beats the hell out of a fisheye ala' GoPro.
@@NithinJune hmm depends on your skill. If you’re a beginner, just get something simple like an x52, however there are many advanced hotas sticks for pilots and experienced simmers like the warthog and f18 sticks but they are pricey
The T-6B has some stuff that's not seen in previous primary trainers that u have 2 wait until u get 2 an operational aircraft 2c it such as 4th or 5th gen fighters such as F-18, F-15E, or F-22. It has an all digital glass cockpit displays & a HUD. It's also really useful 4 training anyone who would fly larger airplanes like the C-17, C-130, or bomber aircraft.
All Air Force pilots learn on the Texan first then they will branch off to the T-1 jayhawk for heavies the T-38 for fighters till that gets replaced by the T-7A
@@Mustang6971 While the T-6A had just one display, the T-6B is an all glass cockpit, but in older trainers such as the wasp engine powered WW2 original Texan & the T-37 Tweet, the cockpit is mostly analog w/ dials & gauges. Comparing these planes w/ the turboprop T-6B is like making a comparison between my old Nintendo & the latest PS5 or the newest Xbox console. The different is crystal clear.
Thanks for the vid. Years ago B-52 Wings also had a T-37 detachment so co pilots could build up flying hours. I have often wondered if an F-35 wing was structured so it also had a T-6 det or even squadron where an F-35 pilot could also have some monthly flying hours in the T-6 for just good flying hour efforts. Someone could always shoot this idea down as being too expensive but I think it would be good given F-35 availability with current schedules. "Hey, I don't have an F-35 hop for a few days but I can do some basic airmanship hops to stay fresh with the T-6."
This was an AWESOME video! Thank you so much for showing all the different screens y'all see while flying, and seeing the training dogfighting was super interesting especially with your commentary! Keep up the great work!
Best video yet! I asked my good buddy Lord B if he knew you and he said he did. Perhaps one day our paths will cross. Best part of the video, “No Joy. CONTINUE!”
@@mgtowacademy8433 I am commissioning in May through ROTC. 4 years in the program from freshman to senior year. There are options to do a 3 year and join the program as a 250 your sophomore year or a lucrative 2 year contract with prior service/active duty transition. If you are further than a sophomore and do not have prior service you will have to add on time to your degree to meet the 3 year minimum. This applies only to ROTC and the route through OTS is different. You can go to OTS as an Airman who is already enlisted or as a civilian as long as in both cases you have at least a bachelors degree.
@@mgtowacademy8433 PPL is definitely beneficial but is not required at all. I got my slot with only 6 flight hours and know several people who have gotten a pilot slot without any flight hours. The biggest thing is making sure your metrics that you control, grades, PT test, and commanders ranking, are as well off as they can be. Commanders ranking is tied into your PT test and grades but also what you do to help out your fellow cadets and stand out as a candidate
I hadn't really thought about how much of change in training capability the AF's new Advanced Trainer was going to bring until this video. I think the new Student Pilots are going to have a training environment that's much better suited to training military pilots and they should have a much easier time transitioning from the new advanced trainer to their next aircraft, no matter which type.
God almighty bless this guys.. Proud of Hasard Lee.. thank you so much for protecting our skies.. Best pilots in the entire world. This guys are the Aces of our skies..
Hasard Lee it’s great to seeing that Pilots gets to flying a high performance Single engine turbo prop and I thank you all and the Instructors of the 🇺🇸 USA Airforce in teaching the new generation in choosing props, Helios or jets
Awesome video! I noticed that Hazard doesn't have rank insignia on his flight suit. Maybe it's a security thing to protect his privacy? Not sure. Very cool airplane the T-6B! Kinda funny seeing AF guys step into airplanes with Navy markings tho :)
I first thought this would be a video about the PC-21. Which is the predecessor of the PC-9, the plane on which the T-6B is based. During my military service in Switzerland I worked on the PC-21 an I can tell you it’s definitely more modern than the T-6B and has a stronger engine.
That’s literally what the attitude indicator and the rpm indicator on the planes in msfs looks like. It looks like MSFS and TH-cam will help me a lot when it comes to knowledge with a 2% experience(sim) based training
I wish I could start life all over. No doubt that I would work my hardest to take a similar career path as Hasard. Hasard, you do a great job representing the USAF and USA. Thanks!
Youre in my city! i work like 10 minutes from RAFB! Cool to see you in town. I wished as a kid growing up that i could fly the f-15. Id see commercials for it every day and it was a dream of mine. When I was 20 i went to try speaking with an AF recruiter about flying. Ended up finding out my torso was too long... so it cool to see what i would have been doing through your eyes! Thank you for your service!
@@soup8846 I'm not a fighter pilot, just a college student working hard to get there. I will say that ROTC is a great way to go, so I would do your own research on the program.
Hey, Hasard (or anyone else). What was the HOTAS setup the AF uses for the sim flight (3:11)? Is it available for purchase anywhere? Also, can we buy the full-motion sim (3:24)? One last thing: would the student pilot normally be in the front seat? Was this basically a ride-along? thx
Hi Hasard, do you pull jokes on each other when working together with other flight crew e.g. trainers, heli pilots, tankers, etc? Or is it something that rather happens in movies?
I live west of the Retama Race Track. Those T-6's fly over my house all day long during the week. The "Weekday Warriors." That plane looks like it would be so much fun to fly. The Mazda Miata of the skies! Maybe it's more than that, I'm not a pilot. But man I'd love a ride in one!
Were you guys using lockheed prepar3d to visualise the jet for VR? I am not talking about flight physics, even some civ aircraft addons use an external physics engine now to run the planes as the flight modelling is straight from microsoft flight sim 2000.
Cool video! Basic question from a non-pilot: what is the thin strip of material that snakes across the canopy? Is that something involved with ejection?
It's a line of det cord that fractures the canopy prior to the ejection seat passing through. The seats themselves also have a canopy breaker as a backup.
Sir. I assume being a pilot stops at a certain age? If you go career in the airforce. At what time will you have to change job? 10 years of flying then get a desk job? 15 years then? Or its up to you and your abilities?
How Would I go about finding a place where I can try that simulation or get it my self? , it’s always been a dream of mine to fly a fighter jet or the trainers.
Thanks for the video Hazard. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION. Why aren't they "training" on trainer JETS??? Like the T-38 or T-50? Besides the T-6B being cheaper...

I love how the AF guys are using Navy aircraft for this demo.
Thank God they flew them like AF Pilots. The Bravo finally got broke in properly.
You don't know, do you? That's a T-6A Texan II, which was adopted by the USAF FIRST, and then the Navy followed three years later.
This was a Great Episode! Thank you!
4:30 I got chills with the salute on the beat; I don't know why
it looked so clean
We use a plane called the T-5 as a trainer by Subaru. We've also got to test fly it remotely and that was fun.
The T-6B has some stuff that's not seen in previous primary trainers that u have 2 wait until u get 2 an operational aircraft 2c it such as 4th or 5th gen fighters such as F-18, F-15E, or F-22.

so amazing - and so dialed in - a discipline (or understanding) worthy of replication - also inspirational engineering - ty for sharing
I love your channel ! Greetings from France 🇨🇵🇺🇲
Very cool plane!
But why's there a jet turbine spin-up noise when the prop is spinning up at 4:20 ?
It’s a Turboprop. So you have a turbine generating the movement of the prop. So it has a lot in common with a jet engine, hence the similar sound.
Looks like Hasard is trading in those wings of lead for wings of Gold in that Navy T-6 from TAW-5!
amazing video, I love seeing the real HUD and MFDs in action.

BUT I HAVE A QUESTION.
Why aren't they "training" on trainer JETS??? Like the T-38 or T-50?
Besides the T-6B being cheaper...
This is the precursor to the T-38 to learn fundamentals
The “T” in T-6 means “Trainer”.
Hazard, can you briefly explain why the propeller is almost flat instead of a steep angle. ? I thought the prop would be somewhat angled to push air backwards

Hey Hasard
Why isn‘t the US buying some Pilatus PC-21. I mean it can simulate real joystick pressure from an other plane like an FA18.
And the T-6 was also designed by Pilatus. It was the PC-9 back in the days.
