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. […]

Formation in an AT-6 with PH-1. The AT-6 is the weaponized follow-on to the T-6. […]

Back in the AT-6, this time on a flight to Smokey Hill range (near Salina (SLN), Kansas) with the other AT-6 to practice weapons testing. […]

Back in the Baron for a business trip. This was the best kind of business trip. I went down to Oklahoma City (OKC) for FAA physiological and survival training. […]

I was back in the AT-6C for a familiarization flight with the new software and hardware in aircraft AT-2. We’ve made some great modifications to AT-2 to make it the productionized version of the AT-6C. […]

Back in the air with the T-6. I flew two training flights today. […]

I have my own company call sign. It’s Beech Test 123. I chose the number because 23 is one of the most important numbers in my life and the 1 is for Beech Experimental Flight Test. […]

The T-6C offers the world’s most proven and cost-effective training system available […]

Not many missions in aircraft receive priority handling – especially during peacetime. […]

Sally’s Alley is a bar right off the flight line at March AFB. I always wanted to visit the place. It is one of the most famous aviation bars in the country. […]
