For anyone else having trouble with the links, have a look at the US Air Force page in their photos gallery: http://www.af.mil/

Pretty aircraft. I would sure love to work though the training with similar progression to an actual Air Force Pilot.

X-Plane models props so so very well, it would be interesting to see a quality version of this aircraft. But since we can't have everything, I'm not holding my breath. Maybe something to consider for the future I hope.

Yep, that's one of the training aircraft, you'll know them as the PC-9 Divot, basically the same bird.

If you're outside the US, you need to hide behind a US Based Proxy to gain access. Seems the US .mil sites wont let foreigners on it.

JPATS TexanII is a Bitchen Plane, many Nato Countries use the PC-9 today and makes for an excellent JUPT Trainer. THe performance is absolutly fantastic, and highly aerobatic!

I wish we had these in the Early 80's

Students today are spoiled... T-38C, T-45's, JPATS. Dont smell like 40 years of Puke and Sweat...

Fantastic indeed! They go like shit off a shovel! :smile: In the UK we use the Tucano, more or less a PC-9 but better looking. :wink2: I took some photo's if anyones interested:
