Up until the Eagle, all my flying was done in 2 seaters. First ride in the Eagle was Solo. That was very "interesting".

The USAF started calling it the T-6 in 1948, prior to that it was the AT-6 for the reason you state.<br /><br />There is also a T-6 Texan II in the current inventory. But outside of officialdom, I've always heard it called just the T-6, or SNJ. Technically the SNJ is the one I flew in.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-36687657952774136442022-05-03T15:34:46.106-07:002022-05-03T15:34:46.106-07:00Beg to differ, Sarge.

We're rated as "SuperHost" which means guests can search for that status (5 star ratings, great reviews, etc) when they are looking for a place to stay. Since AirBnB made this guys reservation disappear, he didn't have an opportunity to trash us. Nor did we, don't forget the owners get to review the guests. Trashing the place would be bad for your future ability to rent from anybody.. So, it really wasn't any skin of our back, more the irritation factor and as you said earlier, this might be their modus operandi to get free stays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-90376800044184573452022-05-03T10:00:18.536-07:002022-05-03T10:00:18.536-07:00When we deployed from Moody to Taegu in the early ...When we deployed from Moody to Taegu in the early 80's in the F-4, I remember a deep sense of gratitude each time the TACAN locked on to the next station.

There were definitely engines spooling up over there on Sunday morning. Sounds pretty neat. Can always tell when they are doing touch and go's as they come right over the house.
