I had an opportunity to fly a T-6A as part of flight testing. The T-6 makes its own oxygen through an OBOGS. An OBOGS uses compressed atmosphere from the engine to separate oxygen from nitrogen and other elements in the atmosphere.

I accomplished 7 engine air start tests in the AT-6 in 2 sorties. This was for military certification and is likely the most dangerous type of testing we accomplish with a single engine aircraft.

Here is an update on my flying. I've been flying the AT-6 in a military certification program and the Baron for trips.

I've been flying like crazy--both the AT-6 and the Baron.

Since I last gave you an update, I received a PIC (Pilot in Command) check for Engineering Test Captain (ETC) in the AT-6 and T-6.

Okay, I've been bad. I've flown 10 times since I last gave you an update.

This was a training week for the AT-6.

We've been waiting down at Eglin for the last couple of weeks for the range time and the weather to match. The weather has been bad with rain and low ceilings.

I flew in the front seat of AT-6C N610AT from Beech Field (BEC) to Eglin AFB (VPS). We were originally supposed to go out as a two-ship (formation), but the other aircraft was delayed, so we took off in the morning.
